The Square Shopping Centre, Southmoor Industrial Estate and Atlantic Business Centre are only three of the commercial sites around Sale. We secure units, retail parks and offices across this part of Trafford.
Trusted Protection in Sale
Count the named estates within 5km of Sale and you reach six: Albany Road, Longford, Southmoor, Willan and Dane Road, plus Atlantic Business Centre. Shoppers head for The Square, Brookway Retail Park and Bridgewater Retail Park. Each needs something different, from overnight checks of shutters to a uniformed presence on a busy Saturday. We combine static guarding, mobile patrols and alarm response, with every visit GPS-logged.
Sale Business Profile
Within a ten-mile circle of Sale we have 155 registered security workers; 115 hold a live SIA licence and take bookings. Fifty have their own cars, which makes multi-site patrol routes across Trafford straightforward to staff. All are screened to BS 7858 and paid via PAYE, and our in-house control room watches each booking around the clock.
Trafford has 11,785 registered businesses. Professional services lead with 2,310, followed by construction on 1,145 and tech and communications on 1,065. Finance runs at 3.7% against 2.1% across Britain, so corporate offices want reception officers and out-of-hours alarm response. Health and care, at 7.5% against 4.4%, adds clinics and care homes that need lone-worker support.
Waterside Arts Centre, The Edge Theatre and Arts Centre and The Venue Urmston host shows and private events. Any of these planning for 200 or more guests should prepare for Martyn's Law, and our event team can assist. What Martyn's Law means for venues.

Security Requirements in Sale
Beyond the estates, Sale sits within reach of four hospitals, including Wythenshawe and Trafford General, and five rail stations from Navigation Road to Trafford Park. Around 127 pubs, bars and clubs operate within 5km, so evening trade is a significant part of the local economy.
Add 21 building sites to that map and the job becomes broad: shop floors by day, shuttered units overnight, and plots holding plant and timber that need watching while crews are away.

Crime & Security Data
Because Greater Manchester Police's returns to Police.uk are incomplete at present, this page carries no Sale crime totals.
Without those statistics, the best guide to your own risk is a close look at the premises themselves. Our free on-site audit, worth £250, checks access points, lighting, alarms and CCTV coverage and works through a 25-point risk checklist. It gives you a clear list of improvements regardless of the wider numbers, and it costs nothing to arrange.
Local Policing
Neighbourhood policing here falls to the Sale Town Centre team within Greater Manchester Police, which has no priorities listed at the moment.
