Close to a third of Ceredigion's businesses are farms and agricultural firms, so security around Lampeter starts with yards, machinery and outbuildings. We add door cover and patrols for the hospitality trade too.
Trusted Protection in Lampeter
Ceredigion has 4,080 registered businesses, and 1,330 of them work in agriculture. That share, 32.6%, is more than seven times the British figure of 4.5%. Construction follows with 500 firms and hospitality with 380. For Lampeter, the practical consequences are clear: remote farm buildings and plant left unattended for long periods, building contractors with tools and vans, and pubs and a nightclub that need evening staff. Each calls for a different kind of cover.
Lampeter Business Profile
Officers we place around Lampeter carry SIA licences, have passed BS 7858 vetting and are paid on PAYE. Because farms and rural premises are spread out, mobile patrols suit them better than a static guard: officers vary their visits, check gates, sheds and fuel stores, and book on with GPS so each stop appears in a digital report from our 24/7 control room.
Solar-powered CCTV towers are a sensible fit where yards have no mains supply near the boundary, and they can be monitored remotely overnight. Hospitality, at 9.3% of local firms compared with 6.5% nationally, brings a different need: door supervisors and evening cover for the town's licensed premises. Builders, the second largest group with 500 firms, often want short-term site protection between phases of work.
Minds Eye nightclub is the named venue within 5km of Lampeter. Premises admitting 200 or more people will be in scope of Martyn's Law once it takes effect, and our door supervisors can help a venue plan for it. What Martyn's Law means for venues.

Security Requirements in Lampeter
The facts around Lampeter are modest in scale: one mapped construction site and eight pubs, bars and nightclubs within 5km, with no retail parks or industrial estates listed. Its business life leans heavily on the surrounding agricultural economy, so the main risks are to property spread across open land rather than crowded shopping streets.
Dyfed-Powys Police locally focus on road safety, anti-social behaviour and drug dealing, which suggests patrols should take in quiet lanes, car parks and the edges of licensed premises as well as farmyards.

Crime & Security Data
Police.uk lists 351 crimes in the mile around Lampeter between September 2025 and August 2026.
Violence and sexual offences account for 146 of those, about 42%. The remaining categories are small: criminal damage and arson at 38, anti-social behaviour at 36, shoplifting at 34 and public order at 26. The latest three months were 41% lower than the same period a year earlier. Figures for a one-mile radius say little about isolated farms, so a site visit is the better way to judge rural risk.
