Stow-on-the-Wold is a small Cotswold town in a district shaped by farming and leisure. Our rural patrols, solar CCTV towers and event stewards fit a place with more fields than factories.
Trusted Protection in Stow-on-the-Wold
Stow-on-the-Wold has no mapped industrial estates, retail parks or rail station within 5km, and no building sites currently recorded. What it does have is a rural economy. Across the Cotswold district, agriculture makes up 10.8% of businesses against 4.5% nationally, and leisure and entertainment is above average too. That points to farm and estate patrols, cameras on remote land, and stewarding for gatherings such as Stow Fair, which police list for 15 October 2026.
Stow-on-the-Wold Business Profile
The Cotswold district has 6,160 registered businesses. Professional services lead with 1,095, followed by agriculture with 665 and construction with 625. Farm buildings and machinery stores are often far from neighbours, so solar CCTV towers, which need no mains supply, and mobile patrols on set routes are the practical options. Each patrol is booked on by GPS and reported through our 24/7 control room.
Leisure and entertainment accounts for 8.5% of local firms, compared with 7.2% nationally. Events, fairs and hospitality call for stewards, door supervisors and preparation for Martyn's Law, expected in 2027 for crowds of 200 or more. The officers we place are SIA-licensed, BS 7858 screened and paid through PAYE, and key holding covers holiday lets and premises that close for part of the year.
