Trusted Protection in Mildenhall
West Suffolk's economy has two sectors running ahead of the national picture. Leisure and entertainment make up 9.5% of businesses, against 7.2% across Britain, and agriculture 6.5%, against 4.5%. Around Mildenhall that means cinemas and function venues needing stewards and preparation for Martyn's Law, and farmland where patrols and solar camera towers protect machinery. Construction, the largest single group, brings building sites into the same contract.
Mildenhall Business Profile
Out of 8,205 registered businesses in West Suffolk, construction accounts for 1,195, professional services for 1,120 and leisure and entertainment for 780. That third group is the one most likely to need event officers, from bag checks at the door to stewards managing the exit. Builders, by contrast, mainly want plant and materials kept safe on unattended sites after the working day.
Industrial occupiers within 5km include Mildenhall Industrial Park, JKH, Hanson and Hamelin Brands Ltd, where alarm response and patrols suit units that close overnight.

Reel Time Movie Theater, Jet Mildenhall and the Maids Head are among the venues within 5km. Where a venue can hold 200 or more people, Martyn's Law duties will apply once its duties begin, and our officers can support searches, stewarding and evacuation planning. What Martyn's Law means for venues.
