About Centurion
Fire and security engineering. Accountable since 1974.
Centurion designs, installs, commissions, maintains and monitors fire and security systems for complex commercial estates, public infrastructure and operationally critical environments across the UK.
Our story
Built from a simple belief: do the job properly.
Centurion began in Huddersfield, working on domestic and small commercial projects. Since then, we have grown into a multidisciplinary engineering partner, trusted to deliver complex commercial estates, critical infrastructure and high-consequence environments across the UK.
Technology has evolved, the scale of our projects has increased and our team has grown. But our promise has not changed: we take direct technical responsibility for every system we design, install and maintain, and we stay with it for the long term.
-
Proven at critical scale
Delivered a £1.5m CCTV system for a high-profile project in the nuclear industry.
-
Grown by recommendation

Technology in practice
Remote diagnostics and AI-enabled CCTV can help distinguish relevant activity from common causes of false alarms.
Technical responsibility, end to end
Continuity from design to support.
-
Requirements defined by risk
System requirements are defined by the building, its operating environment, relevant standards and the consequences of failure.
-
Coordinated engineering
Fire, security and operational requirements are coordinated in one design, with system interfaces agreed before installation begins.
-
Controlled project delivery
Centurion remains responsible for its technical delivery through installation, commissioning, documentation and handover.
-
Long-term system support
Planned maintenance, monitoring and remote diagnostics support reliable system performance and availability throughout its operational life.
Our people
Engineering capability, developed in-house.
Centurion develops engineers through apprenticeships, structured training and experience across complex live environments. That investment helps Centurion retain technical knowledge and gives customers continuity from project delivery into ongoing support.
Bradford College recognised Heaton’s technical ability and commitment with its 2023 Apprentice of the Year award.
