Trusted Protection in Wickham
Wickham's surrounding area supports a fair amount of entertainment for its size. Fareham Live stages performances, Cineworld Whiteley and Reel show films, and art-K Fareham runs arts activity, all inside 5km. Thirty licensed premises trade in the same radius. Any venue that draws a crowd needs organised entry, clear exits and staff who can handle a difficult customer politely, and those holding 200 or more people will also face Martyn's Law duties on preparedness from 2027.
Wickham Business Profile
Wickham's local share of our network is 110 registered security workers living inside 10 miles, of whom 75 carry an in-date SIA licence and accept shifts. That gives a solid base for event days needing several stewards together. Just five have a car nearby, so patrol rounds are mapped carefully. BS 7858 vetting and PAYE employment apply to all, and our 24/7 control room follows GPS book-on for each deployment.
The Winchester district has 8,225 registered businesses. Professional services lead with 1,560 and retail follows closely with 1,415, a 17.2% share that is more than double the 7.8% national average. Shops at Whiteley Village, Broadcut Retail Park and Bay Tree Walk therefore make up a big part of local demand for store officers and detectives. Offices, at 19.0% of firms, tend to want reception cover and key holding, and 18 mapped construction sites need towers or patrols.
Fareham Live, Cineworld Whiteley and art-K Fareham are the larger venues nearby. Those admitting 200 or more people will need to meet Martyn's Law from its expected start, and we provide stewards, bag checks and evacuation support. What Martyn's Law means for venues.

Crime & Security Data
Police.uk recorded 333 offences within a mile of Wickham in the year to August 2026, and the trend has fallen.
Violence and sexual offences account for 175 of the total, more than half. Anti-social behaviour reached 37, other theft 26, criminal damage and arson 23 and public order 22. Comparing the newest quarter with the same stretch a year before shows a 34% drop. For venue operators, keeping disorder that low depends on good door management, and retailers can lean on CCTV and occasional patrols instead of permanent guarding.

Wickham Security FAQs
Yes. We supply stewards, door staff and event security for venues such as Fareham Live and art-K Fareham. For audiences of 200 or more, Martyn's Law is set to bring duties, and we can help with search routines and crowd plans in readiness.
We can draw on 110 people on our register who live inside a 10-mile radius, 75 with SIA licences in date. A group that size makes multi-steward events realistic, although only five drive, so patrol work is planned around that.
Retail represents 17.2% of Winchester district businesses, over twice the British share. Uniformed officers and store detectives can be placed at Whiteley Village, Broadcut Retail Park and other shopping sites, backed by CCTV monitoring.
Police.uk counted 333 offences inside one mile during the year, and the newest quarter fell 34% against its counterpart. Violence and sexual offences, 175 of them, make up the biggest group, and property crime numbers are comparatively small.
Eighteen building projects show up on the map inside 5km. Compounds like these can be watched by a solar-powered camera tower, a guard in the site cabin, or night and weekend patrol visits, whichever fits the value of the plant and materials left there.
