Agriculture accounts for 1,980 of Wiltshire's registered businesses, a 9.2% share that is roughly double the British figure. The motor trade also edges above average, and Westbury has Platinum Motor Park on its doorstep. Add Hawke Ridge Business Park, West Wilts Trading Estate and Westbury Industrial Estate, and most of the risk falls on property left alone at night: tractors, vehicles on display and stock in sealed units.
Westbury Business Profile
Westbury is covered from our wider pool of SIA-licensed officers, with every visit managed by our in-house control room around the clock. For a town of this kind, mobile patrols, alarm response and key holding usually form the backbone of a contract, with static guards added for particular sites or busy periods. Officers are BS 7858 vetted and on PAYE, and GPS book-on produces a digital record of each attendance.
Wiltshire has 21,570 registered businesses. Professional services lead with 3,570, then construction on 2,985 and agriculture on 1,980. Farming's 9.2% share points to rural patrol routes and solar CCTV towers on land with no mains supply. The motor trade, at 3.4% against 3.0% nationally, needs forecourt towers and overnight patrols to deter vehicle theft, a good fit for dealers around Platinum Motor Park.
Venom is the main nightclub listed near Westbury. If a night or event there can draw 200 or more people, it will have Martyn's Law obligations when they begin, and our door and event teams can help with search and evacuation arrangements. What Martyn's Law means for venues.
