Greater Manchester Police's Airport team names three concerns for Ringway: preventing crime, protecting the public and homelessness, including people sheltering at Manchester Airport. Our officers support businesses in this district of Manchester with guarding that respects those priorities.
Trusted Protection in Ringway
Homes and businesses share Ringway, a district within Manchester policed by a neighbourhood unit called the Airport team. Their stated focus is crime prevention, public protection and the welfare of homeless people using the airport as shelter. For a business at Airport City, Southmoor or Sharston, that points towards officers who deter theft without escalating, who can tell a vulnerable person from a threat, and who record and pass on concerns appropriately.
Ringway Business Profile
Of Manchester's 24,550 registered businesses, 4,455 are in professional services, 2,915 in retail and 2,035 in hospitality. Retail's 11.9% share sits well ahead of Britain's 7.8%, so uniformed retail officers and store detectives are relevant from duty-free counters to Brookway Retail Park. Wholesale, at 5.7% against 3.6%, brings warehouses that need gatehouse control and mobile patrols.
Our network includes 105 security workers living within 10 miles of Ringway. Eighty of them are SIA-licensed and can be booked, a high proportion, and 30 drive, which helps cover the spread of estates, compounds and car parks around the airport. All have passed BS 7858 vetting and are paid through PAYE, and patrols are logged by GPS for each client.
Styal Lodge, The Tatton Arms and the Moss Lane stadium are among the venues within 5km, along with the Wilmslow Guild Players. Gatherings of 200 or more will be in scope of Martyn's Law once it is live, and we can provide stewards and search procedures. What Martyn's Law means for venues.
