A forced door at a Tamworth warehouse or a cancelled guard before a busy weekend needs a fast decision about cover. Our 24/7 control room takes urgent requests at any hour and arranges emergency guarding, keyholding and temporary officers.
Trusted Protection in Tamworth
Plans change. A shutter is damaged at Bridgeside Trading Estate, a store at Ventura Park needs extra staff after a spate of thefts, or a club manager loses a door supervisor on a Friday. Tamworth's mix of logistics yards, retail parks and nightclubs makes these situations familiar. We take requests through a control room that is staffed day and night and match them to officers in our network who live within 10 miles.
Tamworth Business Profile
Our network has 40 security workers living within 10 miles of Tamworth. Fifteen hold a current SIA licence and are open to booking, and ten own cars that let them cover keyholding visits and patrol routes. When a request comes in, the control room checks who is available, confirms the brief and records the deployment with GPS book-on and a digital report.
Tamworth has 2,285 registered businesses. Construction leads on 420, then professional services on 300 and business services on 195. Manufacturing stands at 8.1% against 4.6% nationally, and transport and logistics at 7.2% against 4.3%. Those sectors need static guarding, gatehouse control, yard and warehouse guarding, and alarm response for production sites, all of which can be arranged as a temporary measure or a standing contract.
Tamworth Assembly Rooms hosts theatre audiences, while Vinyl, Atik and Jynx Bar & Nightclub run late. Venues for 200 or more people will need Martyn's Law arrangements once it commences, and our teams can support search and evacuation planning. What Martyn's Law means for venues.
