Rural mobile patrols and solar-powered CCTV towers are the practical answer for remote steadings, machinery sheds and fuel stores. Construction, with 765 firms, and hospitality, with 575, are the next largest sectors. Hospitality sits at 9.0% compared with 6.5% nationally, so hotels, bars and restaurants may need door supervisors or evening cover in busy periods. Our officers are SIA-licensed, BS 7858 vetted and employed through PAYE.

Its named working sites include the Former Creamery Site, Kempleton Mill and Tongland Hydro-Electric Power Station. With only two pubs or bars within 5km and no mapped construction sites, the security picture here is about protecting buildings, artwork, farms and infrastructure rather than managing a busy night-time economy.

We would rather leave a gap than show figures that do not exist on the same basis. To assess your own premises, whether a gallery, farm or hotel, our free on-site audit, normally £250, works through a 25-point security risk checklist. It covers access, lighting, alarms, storage of valuable items and what happens out of hours, then gives you a clear list of improvements.
