Has Your Business in Witham Been a Victim of Crime?

If not, congratulations! But I’m afraid it’s only a matter of time.

FACT: In the last year, of the 320 businesses on our industrial estates, 143 offences took place. That's nearly 45% of businesses that were the subject of a crime. This startling statistic is why Industrial Watch was formed. (You’re familiar with Neighbourhood Watch, well we’re the same type of organisiation.) We’re a small but growing group of people who all answer “Yes” to the following questions:
  • I work on Witham’s estates?
  • I refuse to be a passive victim of crime?
If you answer “Yes” to these questions too, please get involved in Industrial Watch. Joining us will bring your business substantial benefits:
  • Crime is Money! Low crime or no crime saves you spending money on replacing & repairing property and increased insurance premiums.
  • Crime is time consuming! Low crime or no crime means your time is spent on far more important things.
  • High crime areas attract criminals, not employees. Low crime or no crime means good staff retention.
  • High crime areas attract criminals but not business investors. Low crime or no crime keeps the buildings around us occupied.
