Irvine's economy leans on builders, hospitality and professional firms, with farming stronger than the national norm. Go Security fits door supervision, site guarding and rural patrols to that North Ayrshire mix.
Trusted Protection in Irvine
North Ayrshire's 3,020 registered businesses are led by construction with 445, hospitality with 345 and professional services with 320. Two of those groups stand out against Great Britain: hospitality forms 11.4% of local firms compared with 6.5%, and agriculture 7.9% against 4.5%. For Irvine that means evening venues needing door supervisors, farms needing patrols and building sites needing overnight protection. We supply SIA-licensed officers, CCTV towers and alarm response, all overseen by a 24/7 control room.
Irvine Business Profile
Construction is the largest sector in North Ayrshire, and seven building sites are mapped within 5km of Irvine. Contractors there face theft of tools, fuel and plant, so CCTV towers with remote monitoring and patrol checks outside working hours are a practical starting point. Professional services, the third largest group, tend to need key holding and alarm response for offices left empty at night.
Hospitality is where Irvine differs most from the national pattern. Pubs, restaurants and hotels make up 11.4% of local firms, and they need SIA-licensed door supervisors and evening cover. Agriculture, at 7.9%, brings its own needs: solar CCTV towers and rural mobile patrols for yards and outbuildings. Every officer we place has passed BS 7858 vetting and is paid through PAYE.
The Harbour Arts Centre and the WASPS Courtyard Artists' Studios are the venues mapped near Irvine. Should an event at either draw 200 or more people, Martyn's Law duties will apply from 2027, and we can provide event security. What Martyn's Law means for venues.

Security Requirements in Irvine
Irvine's mapped commercial sites are weighted towards industry. Heatherhouse, Portland Avenue, Irvine and Stevenston industrial estates sit within 5km, as do Shewalton Quarry and a GSK site. On the retail side, the Rivergate Shopping Centre and Riverway Retail Park serve shoppers, and Ayrshire Central Hospital and Irvine station complete the picture.
Industrial land of this kind needs perimeter patrols, access control and a plan for alarm activations, while the shopping centre and retail park call for visible guarding during trading hours.
