Pontyclun Business Profile
Construction leads the local count with 1,065 businesses, followed by professional services at 575 and retail at 555. Motor traders, a bigger share here than in most of Britain, keep vehicles on open forecourts that are exposed overnight; CCTV towers and late patrols are the usual answer. Hospitality, at 9.6% against 6.5%, means pubs and restaurants that may need door supervisors on busy evenings.
