Adlington's security cover comes from 30 people on our books who live inside 10 miles; 20 of them carry a valid SIA licence and can be rostered across estates, forecourts and shops in the Chorley district.
Trusted Protection in Adlington
Twenty SIA-active officers within a 10-mile radius gives Adlington enough local people to run static posts, patrol routes and event shifts side by side. They are drawn from a wider registered group of 30. Their work covers six industrial and trading estates within 5km, including Lodge Bank, Moorland Gate and Bradley Hall, plus 10 mapped construction sites and 91 pubs, bars and clubs.
Adlington Business Profile
With 20 licensed officers available for booking nearby, we can aim to put the same familiar officers on an Adlington client's gate or reception. Each has passed BS 7858 vetting, sits on PAYE and books on by GPS, so our 24/7 control room can see that patrols at Yarrow Business Centre or Blainscough Industrial Area happened as planned.
Chorley has 4,595 registered businesses. Construction is the largest group with 720, ahead of professional services at 655 and retail at 375. Motor trade runs at 4.1% of firms against 3.0% nationally, and finance at 3.4% versus 2.1%. Car dealers and garages usually want forecourt CCTV towers and overnight patrols, while finance offices look for reception security and out-of-hours alarm response.
Within 5km are Victory Park, Chorley Theatre and REEL Cinemas, as well as Applejax nightclub. Those holding 200 people or more will need Martyn's Law measures once its duties start, and our event security staff support match days, shows and busy club nights. What Martyn's Law means for venues.

Security Requirements in Adlington
Adlington sits among a cluster of trading estates, a garden centre at Birkacre, three railway stations within 5km and a busy evening economy in the wider area. It is the kind of place where an officer may cover a factory gate one day and a stadium event the next, which is why a local, flexible roster matters more than a single fixed post.
