Driffield Business Profile
Driffield sits within the East Riding of Yorkshire council area, which has 14,225 registered businesses. Construction leads with 2,110, then professional services with 1,790 and agriculture with 1,740. Six construction sites are mapped within 5km of the town, each with plant and materials that are exposed once the site closes. Site guarding, CCTV towers and out-of-hours patrols are built for that risk.
Agriculture's share, at 12.2%, is well over double the British 4.5%, so farm buildings and machinery stores across the district suit rural mobile patrols and solar CCTV towers. Utilities, at 0.9% against 0.6%, add critical sites that need guarding or remote monitoring. All our officers are SIA-licensed, BS 7858 vetted and PAYE employed, with GPS book-on and digital reports overseen by a 24/7 control room.
