Manufacturing is above the national rate, at 6.7% of firms compared with 4.6% across Great Britain, and production sites such as Tunstead Works typically call for gatehouse access control, static guarding and an alarm response plan for quiet hours. Agriculture is also strong at 7.6% of local firms against 4.5% nationally. Hill farms and outlying yards suit rural mobile patrols and solar CCTV towers that run without mains power. Hospitality, the third largest sector, needs a different approach: door supervision and event cover around busy evenings. Our officers are BS 7858 vetted, employed on PAYE and booked on by GPS at every visit. 3,880 Registered businesses in High Peak 31 Pubs, bars & nightclubs within 5 km ### Works, shops and health sites near Buxton - **Industrial & business parks:** Tunstead Works and Buxton Water - **Retail parks & shopping centres:** The Springs Shopping Centre - **Hospitals:** Cavendish Hospital and Buxton Hospital & Corbar Birth Centre - **Rail stations:** Buxton and Dove Holes ### Venues & Martyn's Law Tarmac Silverlands Stadium and the Level Two nightclub are the venues mapped near Buxton.

Security Requirements in Buxton ## Health sites, rail and licensed trade Besides its works and shopping centre, Buxton has several healthcare premises within 5km: Buxton Health Centre, Cavendish Hospital and Buxton Hospital & Corbar Birth Centre. Rail stations at Buxton and Dove Holes serve the area, together with the Buxton Miniature Railway. Healthcare sites need calm, visible reception security and reliable key holding. With 31 pubs, bars and clubs and a stadium nearby, evening trade is a large part of the town. That brings disorder and public order risks that door staff and late patrols can help manage.
