Montgomery is small and deeply rural: five pubs and bars within 5km, no station, no retail park, and a county economy where more than a third of firms farm. Our security is planned for that setting.
Trusted Protection in Montgomery
Powys has 3,250 agricultural businesses, 37.0% of the total, against 4.5% across Great Britain. Around Montgomery that means isolated steadings, machinery sheds, fuel tanks and livestock buildings, many unattended overnight. With only 63 offences recorded within a mile in a year, the town itself is quiet, so the risk lies mainly with property spread across the countryside. Rural mobile patrols, solar CCTV towers and alarm-linked key holding suit that pattern best.
Montgomery Business Profile
Powys counts 8,785 registered businesses. After agriculture's 3,250 come construction at 960 and hospitality at 635. Hospitality runs slightly above the national level, 7.2% against 6.5%, so pubs, inns and venues may need door supervisors on busy evenings and key holding the rest of the time. Builders working on scattered rural plots need plant protected between visits.
We staff Montgomery bookings from our wider network of SIA-licensed officers, all vetted to BS 7858 and paid through PAYE. Patrol visits are booked on with GPS and written up digitally, so a farm owner can see exactly when the yard was checked, and our 24/7 control room handles alarm activations from remote premises.

Montgomery Security FAQs
Usually a mix: solar CCTV towers watching the yard, POD intruder alarms on sheds and fuel stores, and rural mobile patrols at irregular hours. Farming is 37.0% of the Powys business count, so this is the most relevant package locally.
Very little by the numbers: 63 offences in the one-mile circle over 12 months, mostly violence, anti-social behaviour and public order. Outlying property faces separate risks, which a site audit picks up.
We can. Local police have reported youth anti-social behaviour at derelict buildings and heritage sites. Vacant property inspections, CCTV towers and POD alarms help deter trespass and damage.
Powys hospitality sits at 7.2% of firms, a touch over Britain's 6.5%. Door supervisors for busier nights, key holding and alarm response are all available for the five pubs and bars inside 5km of Montgomery.
