About Us
Global Guardians is the brand you can trust when it comes securing your empty property. Whether you are a Property Owner or Guardian you can be sure that our core values of being safe hands, progressive and inclusive are at the heart of every decision we make.
Our CEO, Stuart Woolgar, has been at the forefront of the vacant property industry for twenty years. Before he joined the industry, he noticed how many amazing empty properties there were across the world. Many people were also struggling to afford living space in the UK, yet there were hundreds of thousands of buildings in the UK sitting empty. To this day, he views this incredible waste of resource as an unacceptable reality and works tirelessly with our dedicated team to spearhead change and be part of the solution.
Global Guardians exists to sustainably unlock the potential of these empty buildings and protect them from diverse threats through the Guardianship Strategy. We transform disused space into comfortable and safe living spaces for local people and key workers to occupy and protect.

Safe Hands
We promise to guide you through every step of your journey with us.
Progressive
We always look to do more, do better, everyday.
Inclusive
Our ideal Guardians and Partners are humble, hungry and people smart.
We deliver this BSI approved Property Guardian scheme to our partners who include a large number of the UK’s local councils as well as the biggest housing associations in the country and many private landlords. We safeguard their buildings while they are being redeveloped, bought, or sold. Whatever their situation, they are still being used for a true social purpose to provide accommodation to those in need of affordable living. We continue our corporate responsibility work through community engagement and our Life Enhancing Opportunities agenda. This allows us to continuously improve communities and maximise our social impact.
I have always been passionate about the repurposing of empty buildings whether that be through the placement of a Global Guardian or a charity. That is why my team and I have built a brand that lives up to its promise when it comes to sustainably reutilising unloved assets for socially beneficial purposes. We are in the unique position of being able to offer significant stress reduction to our partners and safe and affordable accommodation to responsible, working people. The impact of what we do on local communities is also incredibly valuable and is what makes us more than ‘just another Guardian company
