Caerau Business Profile
Our network includes 135 security workers living within 10 miles of Caerau, 85 of whom hold a valid SIA licence and are ready to be booked, and 15 with a car for patrol routes.

Of the 12,130 registered businesses counted in Cardiff, 1,975 work in professional services, 1,385 in construction and 1,020 in retail. The city leans toward health and care, 6.3% of firms where Britain averages 4.4%, so surgeries, clinics and care homes are part of the picture; staff there may want a receptionist guard or someone checking on lone workers. Financial firms, 3.1% here versus 2.1%, typically ask for front-desk cover and an alarm contact for nights and weekends.
Cardiff City Stadium, Cardiff International Sports Stadium and Chapter arts centre are all within 5km. Venues and events of 200 people or more will have Martyn's Law duties once it commences in 2027, and our event security officers can help organisers prepare. What Martyn's Law means for venues.
