Trusted Protection in Atherstone
Over twelve months, Police.uk recorded 1,142 offences in the mile around Atherstone. Violence leads, but for businesses the categories that bite are anti-social behaviour with 210, criminal damage with 82 and vehicle crime with 74. Overall crime rose 7% in the latest quarter, and shoplifting edged up 6%. That points towards visible deterrence: mobile patrols past Carlyon Road and Holly Lane, towers on forecourts and monitored cameras on premises.
Atherstone Business Profile
Ten security workers in our network have homes within ten miles of Atherstone. They take on key holding, alarm calls and patrol rounds, and colleagues from across Warwickshire join them when a contract grows. Everyone we place is SIA-licensed, BS 7858 vetted and employed through PAYE rather than subcontracted, and each booking is tracked from start to finish by our control room.
North Warwickshire has 2,780 registered businesses. Construction leads with 465, professional services follow with 330 and business services with 245. Manufacturing makes up 7.4% of the register compared with 4.6% across Britain, which brings production sites needing access control and alarm response. Motor trade stands at 4.9% against 3.0%, and with vehicle crime on the police list, forecourt towers and overnight checks are sensible.

Security Requirements in Atherstone
Atherstone is a Warwickshire town in the West Midlands, and its commercial map is mostly industrial: the JLR National Distribution Centre, Netherwood Estate, Carlyon Road and Holly Lane industrial estates, Sykes Timber and Tow-trust towbars. There is one station, 30 pubs and bars within 5km and six mapped building sites.
Large distribution and manufacturing sites hold high-value stock and vehicles, and their perimeters stretch a long way. An officer on the gate controls who comes in, while a patrol walking the fence line catches what a single post would miss, so the two work best together.
