From Eurocentral Estate and Orbiston Business Park to Dalzell Steel Works and Braidhurst Industrial Estate, Motherwell is ringed by working sites. Gates, yards and shopping centres here each get the cover they call for.
Trusted Protection in Motherwell
Start with the map. Industrial ground near Motherwell takes in Eurocentral, Dalzell, Netherton and Allanshaw, while shoppers head for The Regent Shopping Centre, Caledonian Park, Bellshill Shopping Centre or Hamilton Retail Park. Heavy industry needs controlled entry and checks through the night; retail needs officers visible while tills are open. One 24/7 control room plans both kinds of work around Motherwell, and each officer's arrival is stamped by GPS.
Motherwell Business Profile
Our network has 15 registered security workers whose homes are within 10 miles. Ten of them are SIA-licensed and bookable, and five bring their own patrol cars. BS 7858 screening and PAYE pay apply to every one. Shorter static duties and drive-round checks are handled locally, while longer estate contracts draw extra people through the control room so that rotas never hinge on one person.
Construction dominates North Lanarkshire's 7,910 registered firms with 1,625, well ahead of professional services on 845 and retail on 690. Haulage and storage stand out: 8.5% of businesses here, close to twice Britain's 4.3%. That puts weight on manned gatehouses and warehouse floors. Car dealers and garages, 4.6% locally against 3.0%, tend to favour camera towers and overnight checks on forecourts.
Motherwell Concert Hall, Motherwell Theatre and Fir Park Stadium are the main crowd venues nearby, with Hamilton Palace nightclub too. Audiences of 200 upwards will come with Martyn's Law duties from spring 2027, and we can supply trained stewards to help with them. What Martyn's Law means for venues.

Steel, distribution, shopping and a football ground all sit close together here, so what a site needs at noon can be quite different from what it needs at midnight.

Crime & Security Data
Police Scotland publishes Scottish crime data itself, so Police.uk figures are not available for Motherwell.
Because Scottish crime statistics are held separately by Police Scotland, we cannot show the same one-mile breakdown used on our English and Welsh pages. The best way to understand the risks at your premises is our free on-site security audit, which uses a 25-point checklist covering access, lighting, alarms and how your site is used after hours.
