A failed shutter, a burglary clean-up or a sudden gap in your guard rota: Enfield businesses facing any of these can ring our 24/7 control room and ask for an officer, a keyholder or a CCTV tower.
Trusted Protection in Enfield
Enfield is a town in Greater London with a large pool of officers in our network: 535 registered within 10 miles, and 210 licensed and taking bookings. That depth is what makes unplanned cover realistic. If a site is left insecure after a break-in, a contractor needs a guard over a long weekend, or your regular officer is unwell, our control room can look for someone suitable from that pool. Availability always depends on the request, and we say so plainly.
Enfield Business Profile
Enfield's register lists 15,400 businesses. Construction is the biggest group at 2,860, ahead of professional services at 2,135 and business services at 1,360. At 18.6%, construction's share beats Great Britain's 14.1%, and building sites can need help without warning: a fence blown down, a compound broken into, a tower needed before plant arrives. CCTV towers and out-of-hours patrols are the standard tools.
Wholesale is the other standout, 5.2% of firms against 3.6% nationally. Depots on Martinbridge Trading Estate, Great Cambridge Industrial Estate, Redburn and Segro Park Enfield need gatehouse control and warehouse guarding. Forty of our nearby officers drive, which suits mobile patrols across those estates. All are BS 7858 vetted, employed on PAYE and tracked by GPS book-on.
The Dugdale Theatre, Cineworld Enfield and The Queen Elizabeth Stadium are within 5km. Enfield venues and events for 200 or more will take on Martyn's Law duties in 2027, and we can staff searches and stewarding to prepare. What Martyn's Law means for venues.
