Trusted Protection in Abergavenny
Abergavenny logged 1,946 offences on Police.uk across twelve months in the mile around the town. Violence accounts for the largest share, but for businesses the more telling figures are anti-social behaviour at 403, public order at 233 and criminal damage and arson at 200. Those point to disorder around pubs and shops in the evening and damage to property overnight, risks that door staff, patrols and CCTV are designed to reduce.
Abergavenny Business Profile
Monmouthshire has 4,435 registered businesses. Agriculture is the largest sector with 705, closely followed by professional services with 690 and construction with 510. Farming's share, 15.9% compared with 4.5% for Britain, means many premises are isolated and hard to oversee. Solar CCTV towers and rural mobile patrols suit farmyards and outbuildings, with alarms routed to our 24/7 control room for response.
Hospitality is also slightly above the British average, at 7.2% against 6.5%, and 22 pubs and bars sit within 5km of Abergavenny. Those businesses tend to need door supervisors on busy nights. Every officer we provide holds an SIA licence, has passed BS 7858 vetting and is paid through PAYE, and patrol visits are logged by GPS book-on.
The Borough Theatre, Baker Street Cinema and The Melville Centre lie within 5km. Once Martyn's Law starts in 2027, venues for 200 people or more will need set procedures, and our stewards can help managers get them ready. What Martyn's Law means for venues.
