Fawdon Business Profile
Short-notice cover depends on proximity, and Fawdon is well placed: 65 people on our register live inside ten miles, and 35 of them hold a licence and are active for shifts. Ten drive, which is what makes alarm call-outs and emergency patrols realistic at night. Before anyone joins, BS 7858 screening is completed, and every officer is employed on PAYE terms. GPS logs the moment they arrive so you know cover has started.
Newcastle upon Tyne has about 9,090 registered businesses, headed by professional services (1,500), hospitality (1,005) and construction (925). Hospitality's share, 11.1% against 6.5% nationally, means many late venues that occasionally need extra door staff at short notice. Health and care, at 6.4% compared with 4.4%, brings clinics and homes that may need reception or overnight cover when a regular officer is off sick.
