Trusted Protection in Seacroft

## Fitting security to Seacroft's business mix

The 29,825 firms registered across Leeds lean heavily on three sectors: professional services at 4,865, construction at 3,850 and business services at 2,600. Two smaller groups punch above their national weight, property and finance. In Seacroft that translates into offices that close at night, building sites with plant on show, and vacant units waiting for tenants. Go Security covers all three with SIA-licensed officers in our network, key holding, void property inspections and CCTV towers, run from a 24/7 control room.

Seacroft Business Profile

## What each Leeds sector asks of security

Professional and business services firms, the largest and third largest groups in Leeds, mostly need reception cover, key holding and alarm attendance after hours. Construction, in second place, faces theft of plant and materials, and 26 sites are mapped within 5km of Seacroft. For those we recommend CCTV towers that run off-grid, backed by evening and weekend patrol rounds.

Property businesses account for 5.7% of Leeds firms, above the 4.7% British average, which means more empty buildings between lets. Void protection, regular inspections and key holding keep them insurable. Finance, at 3.0% against 2.1%, adds offices that want calm front-of-house security. Our network has 40 security workers registered within 10 miles, 20 of them licensed and bookable, all BS 7858 vetted and on PAYE.
