Whitland Business Profile
Carmarthenshire holds 7,960 registered businesses, and farming leads by a distance with 2,050. Construction comes next on 1,040 and professional services on 635. Agriculture is 25.8% of all firms, against just 4.5% across Britain, so remote barns, machinery stores and fuel tanks dominate the risk picture. Solar-powered CCTV towers and irregular rural patrols are the usual starting point.
The motor trade is also above average, at 4.0% compared with 3.0% nationally, and forecourts tend to attract vehicle theft after dark. We place officers drawn from our wider network, each SIA-licensed, BS 7858 vetted and on PAYE. Alarms and cameras are monitored by an NSI Gold accredited centre, and our in-house control room runs around the clock, dispatching key holders when something triggers.
