About Us

Independent Business Guardians Ltd (IBG GROUP)

IBG GROUP was founded by Dave Martin, who brings over 30 years of frontline experience across retail, logistics, e-commerce, commercial security and operational risk.

Today, IBG GROUP continues to grow as a family-run consultancy, committed to supporting Midlands businesses and communities with practical, proportionate and affordable solutions. 

We don't operate like a large corporate.

We don't hide behind layers of management.

We don't treat clients like numbers.

Instead, we offer personal service, long-term relationships and genuine commitment to every organisation and household we support.
