Professional services lead with 1,000 firms, construction has 840 and agriculture 445, and both farming and manufacturing sit above their national shares. That spread means one Stroud client may need a guard at a factory gate while another wants solar CCTV towers watching a barn. Our network includes 40 security workers living within 10 miles, and we plan cover around the premises rather than a standard package. - Agriculture is 7.7% of Stroud firms, above 4.5% - Manufacturing at 6.1%, compared with 4.6% nationally - 40 people on our register live within 10 miles - Salmon Springs Trading Estate and Renishaw Woodchester nearby Get a Quote [View Stroud on OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=Stroud%2C%20Gloucestershire) Stroud Business Profile ## Officers and industries around Stroud Forty security workers in our network live within 10 miles of Stroud. Twenty of them carry a current SIA licence and can be booked, and 5 drive their own car, which suits mobile patrol work. All are BS 7858 vetted and paid through PAYE, so static posts and patrol routes across outlying sites can be staffed from people who already live nearby. Manufacturing, at 6.1% of firms against 4.6% across Great Britain, typically needs access control at the gate, guarding during shift changes and alarm response overnight. Agriculture, at 7.7%, raises different issues: open yards, machinery and fuel stores where rural patrols and solar camera towers do the work. With 7 construction sites mapped within 5km, contractors may also want temporary towers on plant and materials. 20 SIA-licensed officers within 10 miles 5,810 Registered businesses in Stroud 7 Active construction sites mapped within 5 km 42 Pubs, bars & nightclubs within 5 km ### Business and public sites near Stroud - **Industrial & business parks:** Salmon Springs Trading Estate, CCT Cheapside, Cotswolds Canal Trust Harper's Field and Renishaw Woodchester - **Hospitals:** Stroud Maternity Hospital and Stroud General Hospital - **Rail stations:** Stroud and Stonehouse ### Venues & Martyn's Law Lansdown Hall, the SVA arts centre and the Vue cinema all sit inside a 5km radius of the town.

Stroud Security FAQs ## Frequently asked questions ### Do you have officers living close to Stroud? Yes. Forty security workers in our network are registered within 10 miles; 20 hold a current SIA licence and can be booked for shifts, and 5 have a car for mobile patrols. Every one is vetted to BS 7858. ### Can you protect farms and rural land around Stroud? Agriculture makes up 7.7% of Stroud businesses, compared with 4.5% nationally, and the police list rural crime as a priority. We offer rural mobile patrols, solar CCTV towers and monitored alarms for yards, barns and equipment. ### What about factories and production sites? Manufacturing accounts for 6.1% of local firms. For production sites we provide static guarding, access control at gates and alarm response, with every patrol and check recorded through GPS book-on and digital reports. ### Why are there no crime figures on this page? Gloucestershire Constabulary is not publishing complete data to Police.uk, so we cannot show local totals for Stroud. Our free security audit, worth £250, assesses the risks at your own premises instead. ### Can you help retailers dealing with theft? The Stroud Urban team says retail crime will be taken seriously and repeat offenders prosecuted. A uniformed guard and clear incident reports support that process, and CCTV monitoring adds cover outside opening hours.
