Within 5km are six industrial estates, including Park Burn, Whistleberry, Priestfield and Bothwell Park, plus Hamilton Retail Park, Kingsgate Retail Park and The Regent Shopping Centre. Five stations, from Blantyre itself to Hamilton Central and Uddingston, and hospitals such as Udston and Kirklands complete the picture. Seventeen construction sites are also mapped nearby, so plant and materials protection forms part of the local demand, and with 50 pubs and bars in the same radius, evening door work runs alongside daytime guarding on the estates.
