Staffordshire: quiet county money on the Midlands crossroads.

Staffordshire runs from the Potteries in the north down past Stafford and Lichfield to the Midlands motorway network, with the southern Peak District and Cannock Chase giving it real open country in the middle. The money is county money — farms, estates and period houses in the villages around Lichfield and the moorland edge — and the position, at the crossing of the M6 and M6 Toll, makes it an unusually good base for national work.

So our Staffordshire work pairs residential surveys for the county and Peak-edge houses with secure driving that exploits the position — from here most of the country is a straightforward run — and discreet close protection for private and county occasions. We are Midlands-based, which makes the response times we quote here genuinely honest rather than optimistic.

An illustrative scenario

The kind of house the moorland edge produces: one whose open outlook was its pleasure and, unaddressed, the reason its routines were easy to learn.

Local context — the Staffordshire area

Sampled at Stafford, recorded crime is modest for a county town; the villages and estates where our residential work sits read quieter. The exposure worth planning for is the private approach and the journey, not the ambient figure.

These are anonymised, approximate map-point figures for roughly a one-mile radius — never a specific street, property or person — for the most recent month published. “Violence” is the Home Office “violence and sexual offences” category — a broad measure spanning harassment and common assault through to serious violence, much of it domestic or inside licensed premises. It is not a measure of targeted risk to a protected client.
