Construction is by far the largest group at 815, or 23.2% of the total, well ahead of the 14.1% seen across Great Britain. For these firms, the biggest exposure is usually tools, fuel and machinery left on site. CCTV towers can be set up where there is no power, and night patrols add a physical check on gates and compounds. Manufacturing also sits above the national level, at 6.8% compared with 4.6%. Production units are better served by static guarding, access control and alarm response than by occasional visits. Professional services, with 460 firms, and business services, with 280, round out the main sectors. Each officer we provide is BS 7858 vetted and on a PAYE contract, and GPS book-on confirms when they arrive and leave. 3,520 Registered businesses in Maldon 13 Pubs, bars & nightclubs within 5 km ### Local sites, stations and venues - **Industrial & business parks:** Springfield Industrial Estate - **Rail stations:** Burnham-on-Crouch and Southminster ### Venues & Martyn's Law The Rio cinema, Ramblers FC and The Canary Shed wedding venue are within 5km.

Four of those were violence and sexual offences and one was criminal damage and arson. A count that low leaves no meaningful trend to report, and it does not mean premises go unnoticed. Building sites, outbuildings and quiet commercial units can still be targeted, so key holding, alarm response and a free security audit are sensible starting points. 5 Recorded crimes in 12 months 4 Violence & sexual offences 1 Criminal damage & arson Source: [Police.uk](https://www.police.uk) open data, street-level crime within ~1 mile, September 2025 to August 2026.
