Easton's businesses draw on Bristol's mix of professional firms, builders and tech companies, alongside trading estates and busy shopping streets. Each type of premises gets its own blend of guarding, entry control and patrol work.
Trusted Protection in Easton
Bristol has 18,305 registered businesses, and the leading groups are professional services with 3,320, construction with 2,170 and tech and communications with 1,870. Tech is notably strong at 10.2% of firms, and finance at 2.7%, both above British levels. Around Easton that translates into offices needing access control and reception cover, a hundred mapped building projects wanting towers and patrols, and estates such as Lawrence Hill and Minto Road needing overnight protection.
Easton Business Profile
Some 160 security workers from our network live inside a 10-mile radius of Easton. Eighty of them carry a live SIA licence and are on our books for shifts, and 25 drive, which helps with mobile patrols and keyholder call-outs. All pass BS 7858 vetting and are paid under PAYE, with GPS book-on and digital reporting on every job.
Professional and finance firms tend to want corporate reception security and out-of-hours alarm response. Tech and data businesses usually prioritise access control and CCTV monitoring. Construction, the second biggest sector, brings building plant and materials that need guarding when sites close. Retailers at Eastgate Retail Park, Cabot Circus and The Galleries face a different problem, with shoplifting more than doubling over the past year.
