Trusted Protection in Amble
Hospitality makes up 9.6% of Northumberland's businesses, well above the British average, and Amble reflects that. The Radcliffe WMC and Institute hosts functions, and licensed premises fill the town at weekends. Our SIA-licensed door supervisors manage entry and closing time, our stewards cover larger gatherings, and any event of 200 or more can get ready for Martyn's Law before 2027 with our help. Daytime cover for shops and estates follows on.
Amble Business Profile
Northumberland has 11,600 registered businesses, and agriculture leads with 1,800. That is 15.5% of the register, more than three times the 4.5% British share, so rural mobile patrols and solar CCTV towers are central to our work in the county. Construction follows with 1,550 firms and seven sites mapped within 5km of Amble, while professional services account for 1,440.
Hospitality, at 9.6% against 6.5% nationally, is the other sector that stands out, and it brings evening and weekend demand for door staff. Officers for Amble contracts are drawn from our wider Northumberland network. Each one is SIA-licensed, has passed BS 7858 vetting and is paid through PAYE, and our 24/7 control room tracks every shift through GPS book-on.
The Radcliffe WMC and Institute is Amble's named venue. If a function there is expected to reach 200 or more people, Martyn's Law will apply, and our stewards can help prepare entry and search arrangements. What Martyn's Law means for venues.

Security Requirements in Amble
Amble is a town in north-east England, in Northumberland, with a small commercial footprint. Within 5km sit Hadston Industrial Estate and two water treatment works, seven building sites and 17 licensed premises. There is no station, retail park or hospital in that radius.
With so few large sites, the security picture is shaped by two things: evening trade in town, and isolated farms and treatment works outside it. A door team on Friday and Saturday nights and a rural patrol through the week often cover most of what an Amble business needs.
