Carterton Business Profile
West Oxfordshire has 5,930 registered businesses. Professional services lead with 1,095 firms, construction follows with 900 and tech and communications account for 450. Professional firms make up 18.5% of the local count against 15.6% across Great Britain, so offices here often want reception cover, key holding and someone to answer an alarm after hours rather than a full-time guard.
Agriculture is the other sector running above the national share, at 6.7% locally compared with 4.5% nationally. Farms and rural yards rarely have mains power or staff on site overnight, which is why solar CCTV towers and mobile patrols suit them. Every officer we place is SIA-licensed, vetted to BS 7858 and paid through PAYE, and visits are logged by GPS for your records.

Industrial Park and Viscount Industrial Estate, alongside names such as Cotswold Natural Stone and JSP. The other is the night-time trade spread across 17 licensed venues, plus one mapped construction site and the David Stone Medical Centre.
Those halves call for different tools. Units on an estate are most exposed when empty, so patrols at irregular times and monitored alarms make sense. Pubs and function rooms need visible, trained people at the door when numbers peak.
