Truro brings together the Hall for Cornwall, the Royal Cornwall Hospital, Lemon Street Market and five retail parks within a few kilometres. Go Security protects the shops, estates and venues that give the city its shape.
Trusted Protection in Truro
In Truro, retail and culture sit close together. Lemon Street Market and the Hall for Cornwall draw people into the centre, while Treliske, Treyew Road, Newquay Road and West Truro retail parks ring its edges. Treliske and Threemilestone industrial estates host trade units, and the Royal Cornwall Hospital adds a large public site. Each needs different handling, from visible retail officers to overnight patrols of quiet estate roads.
Truro Business Profile
Cornwall has about 25,580 registered businesses. Construction is the largest sector at 4,020, followed by agriculture at 3,775, which is 14.8% of local firms against 4.5% nationally. That rural weighting makes mobile patrols and solar CCTV towers a practical fit for farms and isolated yards around Truro.
Professional services make up 2,700 firms, and utilities, though small at 1.0%, sit above the 0.6% British share and call for critical-site guarding and remote monitoring. Every officer we deploy is SIA-licensed and BS 7858 vetted, employed on PAYE, and booked on by GPS with our 24/7 control room in support.
The Hall for Cornwall, The Office Nightclub and The Plaza cinema are among the named venues within 5km. Venues for 200 or more people will take on Martyn's Law duties when the Act commences, and we provide staffing and planning support. What Martyn's Law means for venues.
