When an alarm sounds at a Loftus shop, pub or workshop after hours, someone needs to attend. Our key holding and alarm response service, run through a 24/7 control room, takes that call off the owner.
Trusted Protection in Loftus
Recorded crime within a mile of Loftus rose 46% in the latest quarter compared with a year earlier, and burglary and criminal damage both feature in the figures. For small businesses, the hardest moments are the unplanned ones: an alarm at 3am, a broken window, a staff absence on a busy night. Key holding, alarm response, temporary guarding and mobile patrols give owners a way to hand those problems to trained, SIA-licensed officers.
Loftus Business Profile
Redcar and Cleveland has 3,170 registered businesses. Construction leads with 530, professional services is close behind on 525, and hospitality follows on 320. Hospitality's 10.1% share runs well above the 6.5% British figure, which means pubs, cafés and guest accommodation are a large part of local trade. Those premises benefit most from key holding and alarm response when closed, and SIA door supervisors when busy.
The motor trade makes up 4.4% of local firms compared with 3% nationally. Garages and forecourts are often left unattended overnight, so monitored CCTV towers and mobile patrols with GPS-recorded visits suit them. Officers we place hold SIA licences, have been vetted to BS 7858 and are paid through PAYE, and our 24/7 control room handles every alarm activation and patrol report.
