Physical security for Hertfordshire councils, NHS trusts, civic buildings and public spaces. Specialist in Martyn's Law preparedness, UK GDPR and public sector procurement. Free site survey available.
Hertfordshire County Council and its ten district councils manage a substantial public sector estate immediately north of London. The county's towns — Watford, St Albans, Hemel Hempstead, Stevenage — each have significant civic infrastructure including town centre management areas, civic halls and libraries that carry Martyn's Law obligations.
Hertfordshire's proximity to London gives its public sector organisations access to the capital's procurement frameworks alongside Hertfordshire County Council's own routes to market. Its large civic events in town centres and its conference and exhibition venues make Martyn's Law event rules as relevant as the premises rules.
Hertfordshire's NHS estate — including West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals and East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust — represents one of the largest healthcare building portfolios in the South East. Healthcare settings have specific security requirements around lone worker protection, patient movement management and controlled drug security that go beyond standard commercial specifications.

View Solar Tower →Several Hertfordshire town centres — particularly Watford, Hemel Hempstead and Stevenage — have managed public spaces that host regular civic events, markets and gatherings. Open public spaces are not premises in scope on their own. An event held there becomes a qualifying event only where it is open to the public, has entry controls such as tickets or paid entry, and 800 or more people may be present. Understanding how to operationalise Martyn's Law for recurring outdoor events is an area where we provide specific guidance.
