A smashed window at Mountbatten Industrial Estate or an alarm at a Lower Moor Business Park unit cannot wait for Monday. Tiverton firms can arrange emergency guarding, key holding and alarm response through our 24/7 control room.
Trusted Protection in Tiverton
Criminal damage and arson accounted for 226 offences within a mile of Tiverton last year, enough to make broken doors and damaged shutters a real prospect for local businesses. When that happens, a building may need a guard until repairs are done. Our in-house control room runs around the clock, receives alarm activations and organises officers for emergency guarding. With key holding in place, the officer arrives with your keys, so nobody from your team needs to be called out.
Tiverton Business Profile
Mid Devon has 4,605 registered businesses, and agriculture alone accounts for 1,285 of them, a 27.9% share against 4.5% nationally. Farms are some of the hardest premises to protect after an incident, as damaged gates or sheds can stay open for days. Rural mobile patrols and solar CCTV towers, which need no mains supply, can be put in place to cover the gap.
Construction follows with 640 firms and professional services with 435. Manufacturing is above the British average too, at 5.8% against 4.6%, with Heathcoat Fabrics among the named sites nearby; production premises typically need static guarding, access control and alarm response. Our data does not include officer numbers for Tiverton, but each officer we deploy is SIA-licensed, BS 7858 vetted and on a PAYE contract.
The Tivoli, Heathcoat Hall, Ondaatje Hall and the Ian Moorcroft Stadium are all within 5km. Martyn's Law will affect venues and events for 200 or more people from 2027, and our licensed event staff can help organisers prepare for it. What Martyn's Law means for venues.
