Thornaby-on-Tees Business Profile
Fifty-five registered security workers in our network have homes inside 10 miles of Thornaby; 15 are currently SIA-licensed and bookable for shifts, and five run patrols by car. Each has passed BS 7858 vetting and is on our PAYE payroll. GPS book-on feeds every visit to our 24/7 control room, so nothing goes unrecorded.
The borough has 5,780 registered businesses. Professional services lead at 1,115, ahead of construction at 915 and business services at 465. That professional share, 19.3% against 15.6% nationally, means offices needing reception security and key holding. Health and care, at 5.4% compared with 4.4%, adds clinics and care homes that need lone-worker support and out-of-hours cover.
Showcase Cinemas, The Georgian Theatre and ARC lie inside the 5km circle. Once a venue or event can hold 200 people, Martyn's Law duties begin, and our stewards can help put search and evacuation plans into practice. What Martyn's Law means for venues.
