Trusted Protection in Bedwas
Bedwas has a strong local venue scene for its size. Bedwas RFC hosts rugby crowds, Bedwas Workmen's Hall and Caerphilly Workmen's Hall stage performances, and Machen Workingmen's Club runs evening events. There are 38 licensed bars and pubs within 5km as well. Gwent Police lists anti-social behaviour as a local priority, and recorded crime rose 23% in recent months, so event organisers should plan entry control and incident handling with care.
Bedwas Business Profile
Our network has 150 security workers with homes inside 10 miles of Bedwas. Eighty-five are SIA-licensed and active for bookings, and 15 drive, which helps with patrols across the valley. That pool lets us staff a rugby match or a hall event with local stewards and door supervisors. All are vetted to BS 7858, paid through PAYE and booked on to each shift by GPS.
Caerphilly has 4,115 registered businesses. Construction leads with 780, professional services follow with 380 and hospitality with 365. Manufacturing is notably strong at 7.0% against 4.6% nationally, so production units on estates such as Pantglas and Bedwas House need static guards, access control and alarm response. The motor trade, at 5.0% against 3.0%, calls for forecourt CCTV towers and overnight patrols.
Bedwas RFC, Bedwas Workmen's Hall and Caerphilly Workmen's Hall are all within 5km. Events expecting 200 people or more should get ready for Martyn's Law before it takes effect, and we help organisers prepare and staff them. What Martyn's Law means for venues.
