Construction is the largest sector at 2,830, followed by professional services at 2,335 and agriculture at 1,930. Two sectors stand out against the national picture: farming at 10.7% against 4.5%, and manufacturing at 6.4% against 4.6%. Each brings different risks, so a factory gate, a farm yard and a town-centre shop rarely need the same security. - Manufacturing 6.4% of Dorset firms, against 4.6% - Holton Heath Trading Park and Imerys Minerals within 5km - Police tackling shoplifting in the town centre - Upton 5 miles, Poole 6 Get a Quote [View Wareham on OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=Wareham%2C%20Dorset) Wareham Business Profile ## Matching security to each sector Manufacturers and minerals operators, such as those around Holton Heath Trading Park, Holton Heath Two and Imerys Minerals, usually need static guarding or access control at the gate during shifts and alarm response when production stops. Our officers are SIA-licensed, BS 7858 vetted and paid through PAYE, and every patrol visit is booked on by GPS and written up in a digital report for the site manager. Farming, at more than twice the British share, calls for something different: rural mobile patrols on changing schedules and solar CCTV towers for yards with no power supply. Construction firms, the county's biggest sector, need site protection while projects run, although just one building site is mapped within 5km. Professional offices are best served by key holding, so alarm activations reach a trained officer first. 18,000 Registered businesses in Dorset 14 Pubs, bars & nightclubs within 5 km ### Named sites near Wareham - **Industrial & business parks:** Holton Heath Trading Park, Imerys Minerals and Holton Heath Two - **Hospitals:** Wareham Hospital - **Rail stations:** Wareham and Holton Heath ### Venues & Martyn's Law The Rex cinema is the named venue within 5km.

That gives the area three distinct security settings: a town centre with shops and licensed premises, industrial sites around Holton Heath, and farms spread across the wider county. Our patrols can link all three into a single route where clients share an interest in coverage.
