Trusted Protection in Kimberley
Kimberley is well placed for staffing. Our register shows 115 security workers living inside a 10-mile radius, 55 of whom currently hold an SIA licence and take shifts. Retail parks at Kimberley and Giltbrook, trading estates such as Amber Trading Centre and Centurion Business Park, and healthcare sites nearby can therefore be covered by officers who know the roads, the stores and the routes between them, with every booking managed through our 24/7 control room.
Kimberley Business Profile
Having 55 licensed officers close by matters most for recurring work: the same faces on a retail floor each week, a familiar patroller doing locked-up checks, cover for a holiday absence from someone who already knows the site. Each person in our network has passed BS 7858 screening and is on PAYE, and GPS book-on confirms arrival and departure for every shift.
Broxtowe counts 3,330 registered businesses, with construction at 595, professional services at 450 and retail at 265. Utilities make up 1.8% of local firms, three times the 0.6% British share, and need critical-site guarding plus remote camera monitoring. Health and care sits at 6.5% compared with 4.4%, bringing reception posts, lone-worker checks and overnight cover into the mix.
Strelley Hall, Basford Hall Conference Centre and Hucknall Town Football Club are within 5km. Venues able to hold 200 or more will fall under Martyn's Law once it takes effect, and we can set up searches, stewarding and evacuation plans for them. What Martyn's Law means for venues.
