Trusted Protection in Presteigne
Presteigne sits in Powys, where farming accounts for 37.0% of registered businesses, a share far beyond anything typical in Britain. Those farms keep tractors, diesel and stock spread across open ground, rarely in view of a neighbour. In town, Presteigne Industrial Estate and Broadaxe Business Park house smaller units. Crime is very low, with 19 offences recorded nearby in a year, but isolation means a break-in can go unnoticed for days.
Presteigne Business Profile
Of the 8,785 businesses registered in Powys, 3,250 are farms, 960 are builders and 635 run hospitality. Solar-powered camera towers need no mains connection, which suits remote yards, and rural patrols vary their timing to check gates, sheds and diesel tanks. A GPS stamp records each patrol and the owner gets a written report showing exactly when it happened.
Hospitality runs slightly above the national level at 7.2% against 6.5%, and three licensed premises lie within 5km. Pubs and guest houses may need door supervision for events or evening cover at busy times. Officers placed with Presteigne clients are SIA-licensed, screened to BS 7858 and on our PAYE payroll, with alarms routed to our 24/7 control room.
