Bishopbriggs Business Profile
Forty-five people in our network call the area within 10 miles of Bishopbriggs home. Twenty-five of them carry an in-date SIA licence and take bookings, and 10 run their own vehicle, useful when a patrol route links several sites. All have cleared BS 7858 vetting, all sit on PAYE, and GPS check-ins let you compare every attendance against the agreed rota.
Professional services, at 500 firms, form the biggest slice of East Dunbartonshire's 2,800 registered businesses, with construction on 440 and leisure and entertainment on 275. Health and care sits at 6.1%, ahead of 4.4% for Britain, so clinics and care homes often want reception cover, lone-worker backup and someone on call overnight. Leisure, at 9.8% against 7.2%, keeps venue stewarding firmly on the list.
Firhill Stadium, The Fort Theatre and the Glue Factory are among the nearby venues that host large audiences. Events of 200 or more will carry Martyn's Law duties when it takes effect, and we can provide stewards, bag searches and help with the planning it will need. What Martyn's Law means for venues.

Ask us for a free visit, valued at £250, and an assessor will work through our 25-point checklist: entrances, boundary, lighting, alarm set-up and how staff open and close each day.
