From Old Bexley Business Park to Crayford Industrial Estate and Tower Retail Park, Bexley's commercial sites need different kinds of protection. We supply guards, patrols and CCTV towers matched to each one.
Trusted Protection in Bexley
Six industrial and business parks sit within 5km of Bexley, including Old Bexley Business Park, Riverside Works, Bourne Industrial Park and Acorn Industrial Park. Shoppers head to the Broadway Shopping Centre, Priory Shopping Centre and Dartford Heath Retail Park. Units on the estates mainly need overnight cover and alarm response, while the shopping centres face daytime theft and anti-social behaviour. Our officers are SIA-licensed and BS 7858 screened, whichever site they work.
Bexley Business Profile
Bexley has 8,690 registered businesses, and 2,125 of them are in construction, a share of 24.5% against 14.1% nationally. With 21 building projects mapped close by, stolen plant and materials are a real exposure. CCTV towers, static site guards and patrols after the crews leave are the usual defences. Professional services, with 1,140 firms, and business services, with 705, make up most of the remainder.
Our network counts 625 people living within 10 miles of Bexley. Of those, 270 carry a valid SIA licence and are open to bookings, and 50 have cars for patrol work. That gives plenty of depth for multi-site contracts. Education is also above average at 2.4%, so schools and colleges can book gate control, campus patrols and holiday-period cover.
