About Open Eyed

Local accountability. National capability.

Based in Mansfield Woodhouse, Open Eyed Executive Services provides professional security across Nottinghamshire and assignments throughout the UK, with an approach centred on long term client relationships.

The company

Professional security starts with understanding the requirement.

Open Eyed's approach centres on planning, communication and matching the right level of security to the environment rather than treating every assignment the same.
