celebrating 25 years in business this January, marking a quarter of a century protecting homes and businesses across Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire.
Founded in 2001 by David Vowles, the family-run firm has grown from a one-man venture into a trusted regional name. Clients now range from private homeowners and stately homes to national brands including Costa, Toni & Guy and Carpet Barn.
‘This is such a landmark for us,’ says David, who has over 30 years’ experience in the security industry. ‘We’re proud to deliver tailored security solutions – and at competitive prices – whether it’s for a first-time homeowner or a major retailer.’
The business is very much a family affair. David’s wife Sally runs the Wimborne office, son William is a fully qualified engineer, daughter Imogen supports online presence and daughter-in-law Tia helps with marketing.
The team marked the anniversary with a visit from the Mayor of Wimborne, Cllr Jeff Hart, alongside local police and representatives from Wimborne BID.
Guardall is accredited by the SSAIB, with services that are police- and insurance-approved. It offers 24/7 callouts and prides itself on personal service. ‘Our customers are part of the Guardall family,’ says Sally. ‘Many have been with us for years.’
Looking ahead, Guardall is expanding into network technology to improve home and business Wi-Fi, and plans to recruit more apprentice engineers to continue the company’s legacy.
To celebrate, Guardall is offering 10% off all new intruder alarm installations until 31st March 2026 – quote CODE25Guardall.
