Trusted Protection in Bradninch
Few districts lean on agriculture as heavily as Mid Devon, where 1,285 farm businesses make up 27.9% of the register against 4.5% nationally.

Manufacturing adds another layer at 5.8% of firms, with sites such as Devon Valley Mill and Alexandria Industrial Estate needing access control and alarm response.
Bradninch Business Profile
Bradninch has 35 security workers from our list living in the surrounding ten miles. Twenty-five keep a valid SIA badge and take bookings, and ten have vehicles, which matters for rural patrol routes linking several farms. Every officer is vetted to BS 7858 and paid through PAYE. Our in-house control room books each one on by GPS and keeps digital records of every patrol.
Mid Devon has 4,605 registered businesses. After agriculture's 1,285, construction follows on 640 and professional services on 435. Builders need plant and materials protected out of hours, while professional firms usually want key holding and alarm response. Manufacturing, at 5.8% against 4.6% across Great Britain, calls for static guarding and controlled access at production sites.
