If a break-in, alarm fault or staff absence leaves an Ammanford site unprotected, our 24/7 control room can book cover from 10 SIA-active officers in our network living within 10 miles.
Trusted Protection in Ammanford
Short-notice work depends on having people nearby, and Ammanford has 10 registered officers in our network within 10 miles, every one holding a current SIA licence. When a unit on Capel Hendre Industrial Estate is broken into, a farm alarm keeps sounding, or a contractor's guard fails to appear, our control room takes the call, agrees what the site needs and books a local officer. GPS records every attendance, and a digital write-up follows.
Ammanford Business Profile
Carmarthenshire has 7,960 registered businesses, and agriculture accounts for 2,050 of them, a quarter of the total. That 25.8% figure is close to six times the 4.5% seen across Great Britain. Construction follows on 1,040 and professional services on 635. Farm premises are often isolated, so an alarm or a damaged gate can need attention at any hour; rural mobile patrols and solar CCTV towers are the core of most farm plans.
Garages and dealers are over-represented as well, at 4.0% of local firms against 3.0% nationally. Their forecourts can use CCTV towers monitored through an NSI Gold accredited centre and night patrols to deter vehicle theft. Every officer in our local pool has cleared BS 7858 vetting and is paid through PAYE, so the person who turns up is properly screened.
Ammanford Miners' Theatre stages performances within 5km. Venues for 200 or more people will have to comply with Martyn's Law after it takes effect, and we can provide stewards and event security when needed. What Martyn's Law means for venues.
