Trusted Protection in St George
Depth is the point. Our register shows 160 people based in or around St George; 85 are currently SIA-licensed and working, and 25 drive. Sickness and holidays get covered by neighbours rather than strangers, last-minute requests get filled, and a patrol car can reach an alarm on Eastpark Trading Estate or Balaclava Industrial Estate without crossing half the city. GPS follows each officer, and so does our control room, staffed without a break.
St George Business Profile
Everyone on our St George list was screened to BS 7858 before joining and is paid through PAYE, so standards stay level from one shift to the next. A GPS book-on logs each arrival, and controllers in our own room track who is on post, how far a patrol has progressed and which alarm is being answered, all saved into a digital report.
Bristol's 18,305 or so registered firms are dominated by three groups: professional services (3,320), construction (2,170) and tech and communications (1,870).
