Romsey combines a working town centre, with its station, hospital and Plaza Theatre, with a ring of industrial estates and an unusual amount of building work. We tailor guarding, patrols and CCTV to each part.
Trusted Protection in Romsey
Look at what lies within 5km of Romsey and two things stand out. One is the spread of employment land: Romsey Industrial Estate, Budds Lane, Abbey Park, Yokesford Hill, Belbins Business Park and the Belbins Distribution Centre. The other is construction, with 18 sites mapped nearby. Add a rail station, Romsey Hospital, the Plaza Theatre and 21 pubs and bars, and the town needs everything from site guards to evening door staff.

Security Requirements in Romsey
Romsey's character, on the evidence of its named places, is a modest town centre with a good deal of business land around it. The town has one rail station, a hospital and a theatre, while its estates host manufacturing, distribution and trade units. The 18 mapped building sites point to plenty of active development, and each of them holds plant, fuel and materials that need watching once workers leave.
That mix creates separate security needs. Shops in the centre face shoplifting, which accounts for 139 of the crimes recorded within a mile. Industrial tenants need locked-up yards checked overnight. Contractors need CCTV towers or guards on gates. A single provider covering all three keeps reporting consistent across a business's sites.
