Screenings at the Riverside Theatre, functions at the Hungarian Hall and 24 pubs and bars within 5km give Woodbridge a steady evening trade. We staff those events and doors, and patrol the town's farms and logistics yards.
Trusted Protection in Woodbridge
Woodbridge's two named venues, the Riverside Theatre and the Hungarian Hall, bring audiences and private functions into town, and any venue or event for 200 or more will need to meet Martyn's Law once it takes effect. Our stewards handle entry, searches and crowd flow, while SIA-licensed door supervisors cover licensed premises. Outside event nights, the same network looks after Spenhill and Martlesham retail parks, logistics depots and farmland across East Suffolk.
Woodbridge Business Profile
Fifty-five security workers in our network have homes within ten miles of Woodbridge. Thirty of them carry a valid licence and accept bookings, and fifteen have cars for mobile routes. That gives event organisers a local pool to draw stewards from and gives yard operators a patrol team familiar with the area. Everyone has cleared BS 7858 screening and is paid on PAYE, with each shift logged by our control room.
East Suffolk has 9,415 registered businesses. Construction leads with 1,390, professional services follow with 1,215 and agriculture with 800. Farms make up 8.5% of the register against 4.5% nationally, suiting solar towers and rural patrols. Transport and logistics, at 6.9% compared with 4.3%, brings depots such as Denholm Good Logistics that need gatehouse control and yard guarding.
The Riverside Theatre screens films and the Hungarian Hall hosts events. If either expects 200 or more people, Martyn's Law duties will follow when they start, and we can help prepare an entry and evacuation plan. What Martyn's Law means for venues.

Security Requirements in Woodbridge
Woodbridge has two stations, Woodbridge and Melton, and two retail parks within 5km at Spenhill and Martlesham. The rest of its mapped business sites are rural or specialist: Foxburrow Farm Solar Power Station, Denholm Good Logistics and a vehicle docking area.
That spread means security work varies by the hour, from stewarding an evening screening to checking a solar site fence or a logistics yard after midnight.
