More than a quarter of businesses in the Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon area are farms, at 26.4%. Around Armagh we protect farmland, industrial estates, shopping centres and venues with patrols, guards and CCTV towers.
Trusted Protection in Armagh
Armagh's council area has 9,590 registered businesses, and 2,530 of them are in agriculture. That is a share almost six times the British figure, so rural security is central here: machinery sheds, fuel tanks and livestock buildings spread across open countryside. Closer in, Armagh has four named industrial estates, several shopping centres and theatres and stadiums. Our work therefore ranges from solar CCTV towers on farmland to retail officers in The Mall Shopping Centre and stewards for match days.
Armagh Business Profile
After agriculture's 2,530 firms, construction is the next largest sector with 1,420, and retail follows with 725. With 12 construction sites mapped within 5km of Armagh, builders need protection for plant and materials between shifts: towers, static guards and patrols outside working hours. Officers placed through our network are SIA-licensed and BS 7858 vetted, and every patrol is booked on by GPS.
Utilities run slightly above the national share, at 0.9% compared with 0.6%. Utility premises generally need guarding and remote CCTV monitoring through a monitoring centre with NSI Gold accreditation. On the farming side, rural mobile patrols on varied routes check gates and outbuildings, while solar-powered towers watch yards that have no mains supply. Retailers, meanwhile, tend to want uniformed store officers and alarm response.
Venues within 5km include Market Place Theatre and Arts Centre, Armagh Omniplex and the Armagh GAA Athletic Grounds. Where crowds reach 200 or more, Martyn's Law duties are expected from spring 2027, and we supply stewards and search teams to help venues prepare. What Martyn's Law means for venues.

Crime & Security Data
A full year of Police.uk figures is not available for Armagh, because the published record here is too thin.
Without a complete twelve months, any total or trend for the streets around Armagh would be misleading, so we leave the numbers out. What matters more to an owner is the condition of their own site: how doors and gates are secured, whether lighting reaches the yard, and where machinery or stock sits overnight. A free walk-round audit, normally £250, covers those points and leaves you with a 25-point risk checklist.
Local Policing
Responsibility for policing Armagh rests with the Police Service of Northern Ireland. A private patrol or guard adds eyes on specific premises and passes incidents to them.
