Urban Splash is a pioneering regeneration company known for transforming historic and underused spaces into vibrant, dynamic developments across the UK. Established in 1993, they specialise in revitalising properties with a unique blend of modern design and respect for architectural heritage. One of their notable Liverpool projects, the Vanilla Factory, is a mixed-use development that has become a hub for creative businesses and modern living spaces, showcasing Urban Splash’s commitment to innovative urban renewal.
As a long-standing client of Marpol Security since 2005, Urban Splash required a security partner capable of safeguarding the Vanilla Factory’s tenants, assets, and communal areas in the heart of Liverpool. The project presented unique security challenges due to its open-access design and central location in a busy urban area. Urban Splash needed an effective, adaptable solution to mitigate risks associated with unauthorised access, vandalism, and potential disruptions, ensuring a safe and secure environment that aligns with their high standards for tenant care and property management.

Marpol Security implemented a tailored security strategy featuring advanced CCTV monitoring integrated with Marpol’s Instant Response service. High-resolution cameras were strategically placed throughout the Vanilla Factory to provide comprehensive, real-time surveillance. Marpol’s 24/7 monitoring team continuously observes the footage and is ready to dispatch response units on-site immediately if any suspicious activity is detected. This proactive approach enables Marpol to address incidents swiftly and effectively, minimising disruptions and enhancing tenant confidence.
Since deploying the custom security system, Marpol’s seamless monitoring and rapid response capabilities have proven essential in maintaining a secure environment at the Vanilla Factory. The consistent and responsive security provided by Marpol allows Urban Splash to focus on its core mission of building vibrant communities, confident that the security of its property and tenants is well-managed.
