Holsworthy's HATS Theatre and the town's shows and gatherings need stewards and door staff who know how to manage a crowd. We supply SIA-licensed event security alongside rural patrols for the farms around it.
Trusted Protection in Holsworthy
HATS Theatre is the named venue within 5km of Holsworthy, and alongside six pubs, bars and clubs it gives the town its evening trade. For performances and community events, we provide stewards, door supervisors and event security officers, and help prepare for Martyn's Law where audiences reach 200 or more. Beyond events, the surrounding Torridge district is dominated by farming, which shapes the rest of our work here.
Holsworthy Business Profile
Torridge has 3,700 registered businesses, and 1,235 of them are farms, a share of 33.4% against 4.5% nationally. Construction follows with 515 and professional services with 300. That makes rural security the main need: mobile patrols checking yards, gates and machinery stores, and solar CCTV towers that run without mains power on remote land.
The motor trade also runs slightly above average at 3.6%, so garages and forecourts can benefit from CCTV towers and overnight patrols. Units on Holsworthy Industrial Estate typically need key holding and alarm response. Officers we place are SIA-licensed, BS 7858 vetted and paid through PAYE, and every patrol is tracked by GPS from our 24/7 control room.
HATS Theatre is the main venue inside 5km. Where a performance or event reaches 200 people, Martyn's Law will set out duties from 2027, and our team can help organisers plan for them. What Martyn's Law means for venues.

The countryside around it is largely farmland with several solar installations.
