They are a starting point for shop guarding in the town centre, alarm response for offices, and patrols at business parks such as Riverside and Romans.

Farnham Business Profile
Waverley has 7,650 registered businesses, and professional services make up 1,815 of them, or 23.7% against 15.6% nationally. Construction follows with 880 and tech and communications with 795. That weighting toward offices means reception security, key holding and out-of-hours alarm response are common requirements, along with lock-up and unlock services for buildings left empty overnight.
Finance firms are also overrepresented, at 4.0% compared with 2.1% across Great Britain, and often need corporate reception cover. With 20 construction sites mapped within 5km, contractors can use CCTV towers and static guards to protect materials. Our officers are PAYE employed, and our 24/7 control room monitors every shift and receives alarm activations.
The Aldridge Theatre, the West End Centre and REEL Cinema all fall inside 5km. From 2027, Martyn's Law will ask any venue or event holding 200 or more to plan for an attack, and our event team can help write and staff that plan in advance. What Martyn's Law means for venues.
