Broadmarsh's redevelopment and the Victoria Centre are the city's primary retail security environments. Nottingham's two major universities generate demand for campus security and student accommodation guarding. East Midlands Airport — serving significant air freight and passenger operations — employs security officers in a range of roles. Corporate security demand is growing alongside Nottingham's expanding business and technology sector.
