Flint's business mix leans on construction, professional firms and an above-average motor trade, and Go Security matches it with forecourt CCTV towers, estate patrols and retail officers for the town and Flintshire Park.
Trusted Protection in Flint
Flintshire's 5,170 registered businesses are led by construction on 790, professional services on 680 and business services on 420. Two smaller sectors are more telling for security: the motor trade, at 5.2% of firms against 3% nationally, and agriculture, at 6.5% against 4.5%. Dealerships, garages and farms all hold valuable stock outdoors. Around Flint, Go Security covers those alongside units on Aber Park, Manor and Dee Bank estates, with SIA-licensed officers and GPS-logged visits.
Flint Business Profile
Construction firms, the largest group, need secure compounds and camera coverage for plant; one construction site is mapped within 5km of Flint. Professional and business services offices tend to want key holding and alarm response rather than a full-time guard, keeping costs proportionate to risk.
Motor trade premises face vehicle theft and benefit from forecourt CCTV towers backed by overnight patrols. Agricultural sites need rural mobile patrols and solar-powered towers where there is no mains supply. All officers are BS 7858 vetted, paid through PAYE and supervised by our in-house 24/7 control room.
Cae-y-Castell, Deeside Stadium and the North Wales Indoor Athletics Centre host spectators, and events of 200 or more will be in scope of Martyn's Law once it starts. What Martyn's Law means for venues.

Flint Security FAQs
Yes. Flintshire's motor trade is 5.2% of its businesses, ahead of the 3% British average. A forecourt camera tower monitored at an NSI Gold accredited centre, paired with late-night visits by a patrol officer, makes a display lot a much harder target.
Shoplifting fell 36% in the latest three months compared with a year earlier, but at 294 offences over the year it remains a large category, and North Wales Police lists retail crime as a priority.
We provide key holding, alarm response and locked-up patrols for units on Aber Park, Manor and Dee Bank estates and Ashmount Industrial Centre. Each visit is GPS-logged.
We supply stewards, gate staff and event security teams. Where a fixture or concert expects 200 people or more, Martyn's Law duties will kick in from 2027, and our team can draft the procedures with you ahead of time.
Farming is 6.5% of Flintshire firms, compared with 4.5% for Great Britain as a whole. Patrol officers on rural routes and solar-powered camera towers keep watch over machinery, fuel and stores.
