Builders, professional practices and farms form the backbone of Teignbridge's 5,900 businesses, with motor dealers above the national share too. Around Newton Abbot we match patrols, CCTV and guarding to each of them.
Trusted Protection in Newton Abbot
Teignbridge's three biggest sectors are construction with 955 firms, professional services with 720 and agriculture with 685. Farming's share, 11.6%, is well over twice the British figure, and the motor trade sits at 4.5% against 3%. Near Newton Abbot, firms operate from Olympus Business Park, Decoy Industrial Estate, Milber Trading Estate and similar sites. That spread calls for rural patrols, forecourt cameras and unit checks rather than one standard package.
Newton Abbot Business Profile
Agricultural land is hard to watch and often lacks power, so rural mobile patrols and solar CCTV towers are the usual choice for barns, plant and fuel. Car dealers and garages hold stock that can be driven off, which makes forecourt CCTV towers and overnight patrols worth weighing. Each officer we deploy holds an SIA licence, has passed BS 7858 vetting and is paid via PAYE.
Construction, the largest sector at 955 firms, brings compounds full of tools and materials, although only 4 construction sites are mapped within 5km. Professional offices tend to need key holding and alarm response more than full-time guards. Units on Swift Industrial Estate, Sandygate Business Park and Riverside 2 are suited to mobile patrol rounds, each one tracked by GPS and written up by our round-the-clock control room.
The Alexandra Cinema and the grounds of Kingsteignton Athletic and Buckland Athletic football clubs lie within 5km. When Martyn's Law commences, venues and events for 200 or more people will need a plan in place, and our event officers can help draft it. What Martyn's Law means for venues.
