Hospitality and retail each account for 10.4% of local firms, compared with 6.5% and 7.8% across Britain. Put simply, the city has more bars and more shops than average, and those are the two places where trained officers make the biggest difference. For hospitality that means SIA door supervisors who manage queues and incidents; for retail, store detectives and uniformed officers who deter theft and back up staff. Every officer is screened to BS 7858 and paid via PAYE, and our 24/7 control room records each booking with a GPS check-in and a digital report afterwards. 30 SIA-licensed officers within 10 miles 14,975 Registered businesses in Liverpool 33 Warehouse buildings mapped within 5 km 62 Active construction sites mapped within 5 km ### Retail, clubs and business parks in Liverpool - **Industrial & business parks:** Kingsway Industrial Park, Mersey Heat Energy Centre, Wellington Employment Park, Boaler Street Industrial Estate, Brunswick Business Park and Lairdside Technology Park - **Retail parks & shopping centres:** Cavern Walks, Metquarter, Liverpool One, St John's Shopping Centre, Clayton Square Shopping Centre and Great Homer Street District Centre - **Hospitals:** Royal Liverpool University Hospital, Windsor House, Paddington Community Diagnostic Centre and Liverpool Women's Hospital - **Rail stations:** Moorfields, Liverpool James Street, Liverpool Central, Liverpool Lime Street and Hamilton Square ### Venues & Martyn's Law Clubs including Elysium, Jaloux and Club Mambo are within 5km of the centre.
