Shergroup Enforcement is the leading specialist High Court enforcement agency and has spearheaded the development of services to manage protest eviction over the last two decades. Headed by authorised High Court Enforcement Officers with over 50 years of combined operational experience, Shergroup Enforcement continues to lead the way in developing trailblazing responses to the enforcement of civil court judgments for possession.
The Shergroup team has joined forces with a specialist partner, Specialist Group International (SGI), which is considered the world leader in high-risk protest removal and enjoys an unrivalled reputation for safety and an exceptional pedigree. SGI is regularly consulted by high-ranking police officers and Government departments on how to tackle and manage protest sites, even before court action is contemplated.
Using SGI as a specialist partner, Shergroup Enforcement has access to a vast armoury of specialist equipment to tackle the presence of lock-ons, tunnels and tree houses as well as gain access to rigid inflatable boats and a team of professional divers. Removing protesters from power station chimneys, makeshift tunnels and waterborne protest requires specialist skills and equipment with serious experience of anticipating the risks that can be present.
The combination of Shergroup Enforcement and SGI comes from working on major projects as two organisations through two decades of high-profile protest management. Since the M11 link road protests in the 1990s, our team members have led responses to all major anti-roads, anti-runway and anti-maritime protests. They have removed hundreds of lock-ons in extreme environments – with a spotless safety record. For a look at our portfolio of projects, click here.
From everyday squatter action to the top of a 700-foot power station chimney, our enforcement teams are working at any stage of protest action to protect assets that are valuable to our clients.
