Business Watch Guarding Ltd in short
Business Watch Guarding is a Madeley company selling guarding, keyholding, alarm response and mobile patrols to businesses across Shropshire. SIA Approved Contractor status and NSI Gold accreditation are stated on its website, and it is one of very few firms here that publishes actual rates. In our judgement it is the business-security pick of this round for sites that need people rather than panels.
Customer reviews are few but warm, with a mid-range Google score across a small base. The company record is checkable and stretches back decades. What counts against Business Watch is the lack of published insurance detail and that small review base.
Our verdict
Our judgement: Business Watch suits you if you run a business site needing guards, patrols or keyholding with published rates and widely stated accreditations [1]. What counts against it is the lack of published insurance details and a Google record of 11 reviews at 4.4 [1] [2]. The company record goes back to 1996 [3].
