Construction is the biggest group at 1,395, followed by professional services at 1,135 and hospitality at 795.

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.

Markinch Security FAQs ## Frequently asked questions ### Can you provide emergency guarding in Markinch? Yes. Our 24/7 control room arranges emergency guarding, mobile patrols or alarm response after a break-in, damage or staff absence. Cover can run for a single night or continue until repairs are finished and a long-term plan is agreed. ### Do you hold keys for units on Queensway or Eastfield estates? We provide key holding and alarm response for premises on Queensway, Eastfield and Southfield industrial estates. When an alarm activates, an SIA-licensed officer in our network attends and reports back through the control room. ### Can you cover a building site at short notice? Construction is Fife's largest sector with 1,395 firms, and 16 sites are mapped within 5km of Markinch. Temporary guards, CCTV towers and patrols can protect a compound while longer-term arrangements are made. ### Why is there no crime data on this page? Police Scotland publishes its own figures, so Police.uk data is not available for Markinch. A free security audit using our 25-point checklist assesses the specific risks at your premises instead. ### Do you cover Kilrenny and Earlsferry? Yes, both are included in our Markinch coverage. Agriculture makes up 7.0% of Fife businesses, so rural patrols and solar CCTV towers are available for farms and outlying properties as well as town premises.
