From Windsor Industrial Estate and Taylor Trading Estate to Madford Retail Park, Ware's commercial sites each have their own hours, gates and blind spots, and we plan security around them one by one.
Trusted Protection in Ware
Six business locations sit within 5km of Ware, including Hartham View Industrial Estate, Home Farm Industrial Park and Mimram Road Industrial Estate. Add Van Hage Garden Centre and Madford Retail Park and you have a spread of units, yards and car parks that empty out at different times. We match each one with the right mix of guarding, mobile patrols, alarm response and CCTV, rather than a single package for the whole town.
Ware Business Profile
East Hertfordshire has around 8,255 registered businesses. Professional services lead with 1,615, construction follows with 1,455 and business services with 810. Both of the first two run above the British average: professional firms at 19.6% against 15.6%, builders at 17.6% against 14.1%. For offices that means reception cover and key holding; for contractors it means protecting plant and materials once the site closes.
In our network, 20 security workers live within 10 miles of Ware and 10 of them hold a current SIA licence and are active for shifts, with five able to drive between sites. All are BS 7858 vetted and employed on PAYE. Our in-house control room runs around the clock, and every patrol is booked on by GPS with a digital report sent afterwards.
Hertford Theatre, the Corn Exchange Hertford and the Ayckbourn Theatre all host audiences within reach of Ware. Venues for 200 or more people will have obligations under Martyn's Law once it commences, and our event teams can help with searches and evacuation planning. What Martyn's Law means for venues.

Crime & Security Data
Police.uk logged 1,534 offences within a mile of Ware between September 2025 and August 2026.
Violence and sexual offences made up 576 of those, roughly 38%, with anti-social behaviour on 326 and other theft on 139. Criminal damage and arson reached 86 and public order 77. The latest three months were 1% below the same period a year earlier, and shoplifting fell 8%. A steady picture, then, but anti-social behaviour and damage still argue for good lighting, cameras and patrol visits at quiet sites.

Ware Security FAQs
Yes. Windsor Industrial Estate is one of six business locations within 5km of Ware, alongside Taylor Trading Estate and Mimram Road. We offer locked-up checks, alarm response and key holding, so a tenant does not have to drive out at night when an alarm sounds.
Builders make up 17.6% of East Hertfordshire firms, above the national 14.1%, and five sites are currently mapped within 5km. We use CCTV towers, site guards and out-of-hours patrols to keep plant and materials where they belong.
It was the second largest category on Police.uk, with 326 reports over twelve months, and the local police team has named youth ASB around Amwell End as its focus. Uniformed patrols and monitored cameras help retailers deter it.
Professional services are the biggest sector locally, with 1,615 firms. Offices usually need reception security, locking and unlocking, and key holding so that out-of-hours alarms are dealt with by a vetted officer rather than a staff member.
Our network has 20 security workers within 10 miles, and 10 of them hold a current SIA licence and are active for shifts. They are BS 7858 vetted, PAYE employed and supported by our 24/7 control room.
