Gatherley Road Industrial Estate and Gallowfields Trading Estate house workshops and trade units; Princes Gate Shopping Park and the Market Hall hold retail.

Colburn Business Profile
North Yorkshire has 32,560 registered businesses, and agriculture is the largest sector with 5,860. At 18.0% of the total, against 4.5% across Britain, farming is four times as prominent as the national norm. Isolated yards, livestock buildings and machinery stores are hard to supervise, which makes rural mobile patrols and solar-powered CCTV towers the natural fit. Professional services number 4,160 and construction 3,960.
Hospitality accounts for 8.0% of firms, compared with 6.5% nationally, and 18 pubs, bars and nightclubs trade within 5km of Colburn. Licensed premises may need door supervisors on busier nights. We assign officers to Colburn from our wider network; all hold SIA licences, have passed BS 7858 vetting and are paid on PAYE, and each patrol is logged with GPS book-on.
Savoy Catterick Garrison, The Station Cinema and the Georgian Theatre Royal are the named venues within 5km. Where an event could draw 200 or more, Martyn's Law will apply when it takes effect, and we can plan stewarding and search procedures with the organiser. What Martyn's Law means for venues.
