A site fence cut overnight, a shop alarm that will not reset, a guard off sick before the morning shift: in Cheshunt we arrange replacement officers, key holders and temporary CCTV towers through our 24/7 control room.
Trusted Protection in Cheshunt
Cheshunt's businesses lean heavily towards construction, and building sites are where unexpected gaps hurt most: a compound breached, a tower knocked out, a contractor's guard unavailable. Shops at Brookfield and Highbridge retail parks and units at Stirling and Hilgrove business parks can face similar surprises. Our network holds 50 SIA-licensed officers active for shifts within 10 miles, and our control room takes emergency bookings at any hour and keeps a GPS-logged record of every attendance.
Cheshunt Business Profile
Broxbourne has 4,540 registered businesses, and 1,140 of them are in construction. That is 25.1% of the total, well above the 14.1% national share. Plant and materials theft is a constant risk on site, and CCTV towers, out-of-hours patrols and static guarding are the standard defences, each of which can be arranged as a temporary measure after an incident.
In our network, 145 registered security workers live within 10 miles of Cheshunt, 50 are SIA-licensed and active for shifts, and 10 drive mobile routes. Dealers and garages, 4.1% of firms against a 3.0% national figure, add forecourts where camera towers and night visits make vehicles harder to steal. All officers are BS 7858 vetted and paid via PAYE.
