Markinch Business Profile
Fife has 8,890 registered businesses. Construction is the biggest group at 1,395, followed by professional services at 1,135 and hospitality at 795. An exposed building site can be held with temporary guarding, CCTV towers and out-of-hours patrols until a longer plan is agreed.
Hospitality accounts for 8.9% of firms against 6.5% across Great Britain, meaning bars and venues that may need door supervisors at short notice. Agriculture, at 7.0% compared with 4.5%, adds rural properties suited to mobile patrols and solar CCTV towers. Officers in our network are SIA-licensed, vetted to BS 7858 and on PAYE, and every attendance is logged by GPS.
Rothes Halls, Kino Cinema and Warout Stadium are among the venues within 5km, together with the Styx nightclub. Venues and events for 200 or more people are covered by Martyn's Law, and we can supply stewards and search staff. What Martyn's Law means for venues.

To understand the actual risks at your premises, book a free on-site security audit, worth £250. We walk the site with you, work through a 25-point checklist and set out practical recommendations in writing.
