SIA licensed and fully insured security professionals dedicated to protecting residential and commercial properties across Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire.
I'm Gareth, the founder of World of Protection. I'm a dedicated, hard-working bloke who believes in rolling up my sleeves and putting in the graft. I don't hide behind a desk; I believe in being out on the ground and seeing the job through properly.
The turning point for taking this business from an idea to reality wasn't a boardroom decision — it was a profound personal loss. When my mother passed away, it was a massive wake-up call for me. It made me realise that life is too short to simply clock in and out for someone else. I needed to take the leap, build something real, and create a lasting legacy that I could one day leave to my sons.
We are a family-run business rooted right here in Cottingham. Our core values are built on absolute honesty, a relentless work ethic, and a genuine protective instinct for our local community. We treat every vacant property as if it were our own because we understand that behind every business, every landlord, and every building, there are everyday people who just want their livelihoods kept safe. We know what it means to protect what matters, and we bring that personal, uncompromising dedication to every single job.
Gareth William Durrant – Founder & Lead Inspector
With extensive hands-on experience working demanding night shifts across the security sector, Gareth leads World of Protection from the front. He is relentlessly dedicated and brings a highly practical, boots-on-the-ground approach to every property inspection, ensuring that nothing is ever left to chance.
The Next Generation
As a proud, family-run Yorkshire business, loyalty is in our blood. With my sons stepping up as they come of age, this company is being built as a true family legacy. Our team operates on the kind of trust, mutual respect, and tireless work ethic you can only find in a family business.
What drives us is a fierce protective instinct and immense pride in our Yorkshire heritage. We are driven by the knowledge that we aren't just securing bricks and mortar; we are protecting people's hard-earned investments, their properties, and their peace of mind.
On a deeply personal level, World of Protection is driven by the desire to build a secure future for our family and to honour the memory of those we've lost by succeeding through sheer hard work. When you hire us, you get straightforward, honest, and highly effective security from a local team that genuinely cares about doing the job right.
