Petersfield Business Profile
East Hampshire has 6,485 registered businesses, and professional services are the largest group at 1,285, ahead of construction at 970 and business services at 575. Professional firms make up 19.8% of the total against 15.6% nationally, and tech and communications 8.2% against 7%.
Offices like these usually want a front-of-house presence: concierge or reception security in the day and key holding after hours. Tech firms and data rooms benefit from access control backed by monitored CCTV. Every officer we place is SIA-licensed, BS 7858 vetted and employed through PAYE.
The Olivier Theatre and The Studio @ TPS host performances; if an audience reaches 200 or more, proportionate security planning will be needed once Martyn's Law commences. What Martyn's Law means for venues.

Security Requirements in Petersfield
Petersfield's named commercial sites are few: Upper Adhurst Industrial Park, Petersfield Hospital and the railway station. Around 18 pubs and bars operate within 5km, and no construction sites are currently mapped. The security picture is therefore dominated by offices, shops and evening venues rather than building sites, which favours reception staff, alarm response and evening patrols over heavy site guarding.
