Leisure and entertainment is a bigger part of Renfrewshire's economy than it is nationally, and Erskine sits close to cinemas, halls and shopping centres. We staff events, venues and functions with officers from our local network.
Trusted Protection in Erskine
Within 5km of Erskine are the Omniplex cinema, St Stephens Church Hall and a ring of shopping centres including Bridgewater and Clyde Shopping Centre. Renfrewshire's leisure and entertainment sector runs at 9.6% of businesses, against 7.2% across Great Britain, and that brings demand for stewarding, door control and Martyn's Law readiness. Whether it is a community function or a busy weekend at a cinema, we size the team to the event and the building.
Erskine Business Profile
Thirty-five registered security workers in our network live inside a 10-mile radius of Erskine. Twenty of them hold an SIA licence and are available to book, and five have cars for mobile patrols. That gives us a local base for event teams and regular contracts. All are BS 7858 vetted, employed on PAYE and use GPS book-on, with reports logged in our 24/7 control room.
Of Renfrewshire's 4,750 registered businesses, 775 are in construction, 645 in professional services and 455 in leisure and entertainment. Production firms are also over-represented, at 6.1% of the local base compared with a British 4.6%, so the estates around Erskine call for gate staff, controlled entry and someone to answer the alarm, alongside the event work.
The Omniplex cinema and St Stephens Church Hall are named venues within 5km. Gatherings of 200 or more will come with Martyn's Law duties once the Act starts in 2027, and our stewards can support search, crowd management and evacuation. What Martyn's Law means for venues.
