Three theatres within 5km, the Blake, the Savoy and a Performing Arts Centre, give Monmouth a cultural calendar out of proportion to its size. We provide stewards and door staff for performances, plus patrols for farms and shops.
Trusted Protection in Monmouth
For a town with no rail station mapped nearby, Monmouth has a strong set of stages. Blake Theatre, the Savoy Theatre and the Performing Arts Centre each bring audiences arriving and leaving together, often in the evening. Event security here means front-of-house support, bag checks where needed and calm management of exits. Hospitality is also slightly above the national share, at 7.2% against 6.5%, so pubs and restaurants nearby can benefit from door cover on busy nights.
Monmouth Business Profile
Monmouthshire has 4,435 registered businesses, with agriculture the largest sector at 705, then professional services at 690 and construction at 510. Farming's share is 15.9%, more than three times Britain's 4.5%. Machinery and fuel kept in outlying barns are hard to watch, so solar CCTV towers, monitored by an NSI Gold accredited centre, and rural patrols at irregular times are well suited.
Officers for Monmouth come from our wider network; all are licensed by the SIA, vetted to BS 7858 and paid on PAYE. Professional offices, the second largest group, usually need key holding and alarm response rather than a guard on site. GPS book-on and digital reports show exactly when each visit took place, which helps with insurance and audits.
Blake Theatre, the Savoy Theatre and the Performing Arts Centre are all within 5km of Monmouth. From 2027, Martyn's Law is expected to give venues holding 200 or more people new duties, and our staff can support screening and stewarding. What Martyn's Law means for venues.

Security Requirements in Monmouth
Monmouth's commercial base is modest: Wonastow Road Industrial Estate East and West, the Oldway Centre for shopping, 14 licensed premises and 2 mapped construction sites within 5km. There are no hospitals or rail stations in that radius. Security needs follow that shape, with retail cover in the centre, overnight checks on estate units, and rural protection for the farms that make up so much of the county's economy.

Retailers in the Oldway Centre and the town centre still face a meaningful theft count, so trained floor staff and camera coverage remain sensible.
