Tenby's economy leans on two things the wider county does more of than most of Britain: farming and hospitality. We provide rural patrols, solar CCTV towers and evening door cover shaped around both.
Trusted Protection in Tenby
Pembrokeshire counts 5,750 registered businesses, and agriculture alone accounts for 1,290 of them, a share of 22.4% against 4.5% nationally. Hospitality is next in the over-represented list at 12%. For Tenby, a walled harbour resort known for its beaches, that means two very different security jobs: protecting isolated yards and machinery in the countryside, and managing busy evenings in the town's pubs, bars and venues.
Tenby Business Profile
Construction is the second largest sector in the county with 705 firms, just ahead of hospitality on 690. Building contractors and farmers face a shared problem: plant, fuel and tools left in open yards overnight. Solar-powered CCTV towers suit sites with no mains supply, and mobile patrols can check gates and compounds on a set route, with every visit logged by GPS and reported through our 24/7 control room.
Hospitality runs at nearly double the national rate here, so hotels, bars and restaurants around the harbour need a different approach. Licensed door supervisors manage queues and refusals, and event staff can be booked for busier weekends or one-off functions. All officers we place are SIA-licensed, BS 7858 vetted and paid through PAYE, and key holding with alarm response covers premises that sit empty out of season.
De Valence Pavilion and Haven Entertainment both host audiences within 5km of the town. Where a venue holds 200 people or more, Martyn's Law is expected to set protective duties from spring 2027, and our event security team can help organisers prepare. What Martyn's Law means for venues.

Tenby, or Dinbych-y-pysgod, is a walled harbour resort with colourful houses and award-winning beaches. Its working side sits on the edges: The Salterns Industrial Estate, The Old Station Yard and The Old Coach Works, plus Tenby Cottage Hospital and two railway stations. A seaside town like this needs security that can switch between quiet units, holiday trade and late licensed premises.
