Key holding, alarm response and scheduled mobile patrols give owners a vetted officer to check doors, gates and alarms when nobody is on site.
Shipston-on-Stour Business Profile
Stratford-on-Avon has 8,200 registered businesses. Professional services are the largest group with 1,565, a 19.1% share compared with 15.6% for Great Britain, so many local premises are offices that need key holding, reception security or someone to answer an alarm overnight. Construction comes second with 985 firms, and two building sites are mapped within 5km of the town.
Farming is the third biggest sector, with 740 businesses or 9.0% of the total, double the 4.5% national rate. Barns, machinery and fuel stored away from roads suit solar CCTV towers that run without mains power, along with rural patrols. Our officers are SIA-licensed, BS 7858 vetted and paid through PAYE, and each patrol is logged by GPS and reported to our 24/7 control room.
