Peterhead's commercial life spans the Port of Peterhead, supply bases such as ASCO North Base and South Base, two industrial estates and a county where almost a quarter of firms farm. We fit patrols, guarding and remote monitoring to each.
Trusted Protection in Peterhead
Aberdeenshire's largest sector is agriculture, with 2,830 businesses, followed by professional services and construction, and utilities sit at more than double the national share. Around Peterhead, those figures meet the Port of Peterhead, ASCO North Base, South Base and the Blackhouse and Dales industrial estates. A quayside base, a waste site and an arable or livestock farm need different protection, so we tailor each contract and manage it through our 24/7 control room.
Peterhead Business Profile
Aberdeenshire has 12,470 registered businesses: 2,830 in agriculture, 2,340 in professional services and 1,570 in construction. Farming accounts for 22.7% of firms, about five times the 4.5% British average. Remote steadings, fuel stores and machinery suit rural mobile patrols and solar CCTV towers that run without mains power and are watched by an NSI Gold accredited monitoring centre.
Utilities make up 1.4% of local businesses, compared with 0.6% nationally. Critical sites of this type usually combine on-site guarding with remote CCTV monitoring and alarm response. Offices in the professional sector rely more on key holding. Every officer we deploy is SIA-licensed, BS 7858 vetted and paid through PAYE, with GPS book-on and digital reports.
Balmoor Stadium is the named venue within 5km. If an event there could draw 200 or more people, it will fall to Martyn's Law duties once they commence, and we can provide stewards and help prepare search and evacuation plans. What Martyn's Law means for venues.

Crime & Security Data
Police.uk does not cover Scotland, so this page has no Police.uk crime figures for Peterhead.
Crime data for Scotland is released by Police Scotland. Rather than estimate a local trend, we judge each site on its own merits: fencing, gates, doors, lighting, alarm coverage, camera angles and who holds which keys. The free on-site audit we offer, normally valued at £250, runs through a 25-point checklist and ends with a short, prioritised list of fixes.
