Spelter Industrial Estate and Croeserw Industrial Estate anchor Maesteg's working economy, while its town-centre shops face a 52% rise in shoplifting. We protect both with patrols, alarm response and uniformed retail officers.
Trusted Protection in Maesteg
Two named industrial estates, Spelter and Croeserw, sit within 5km of Maesteg, and Bridgend county has an above-average share of manufacturing at 7.2% of firms against 4.6% nationally. Production units like these are typically locked up overnight and at weekends, so alarm response, key holding and mobile patrols carry most of the load. In the town itself, the police have named theft from stores and retail anti-social behaviour as priorities, which points to guarding and CCTV for shops.
Maesteg Business Profile
Bridgend has 3,820 registered businesses. Construction is the largest sector with 575, professional services have 445 and hospitality 340. Manufacturing's 7.2% share stands well above the British rate, and for estate tenants that means machinery, stock and finished goods to protect. Static guarding and access control suit busy production sites, while smaller units rely on alarm response handled through our 24/7 control room.
Motor trade is 5.0% of local firms, against 3.0% nationally. Garages and dealers holding vehicles outdoors benefit from forecourt CCTV towers and overnight patrols, particularly as Maesteg's police list vehicle-related anti-social behaviour among their concerns. Officers we deploy are SIA-licensed, BS 7858 vetted and PAYE employed, and every patrol is booked on by GPS with a digital report afterwards.
