Bonnyrigg is ringed by working estates, from Dalhousie Business Park to Butlerfield and Eldin, and by a steady flow of new building. Our patrols, CCTV towers and guards are planned around that industrious Midlothian setting.
Trusted Protection in Bonnyrigg
What defines Bonnyrigg on the map is industry and growth. Within 5km sit Dalhousie Business Park, Hardengreen, Butlerfield, Eldin and Edgefield industrial estates and the IMEX Business Centre, while 35 construction sites are mapped in the same radius. Stations at Eskbank, Newtongrange and Shawfair connect the area. For security, this is a landscape of yards, compounds and units that are busy in daylight and exposed once workers leave, which calls for towers, alarm response and well-planned patrols.
Bonnyrigg Business Profile
Midlothian has 2,625 registered businesses. Construction is the largest group at 505, with professional services next on 360 and business services on 220. That 19.2% construction share is well above the 14.1% British average, which is why site guarding, CCTV towers and evening patrols against plant theft come up so often here. Manufacturing also exceeds the national rate at 6.3% against 4.6%, pointing to static guarding and access control at production sites.
Our network holds 50 security workers registered within 10 miles of Bonnyrigg. Half of them, 25, are licensed by the SIA and free to take bookings, and 5 bring a vehicle for mobile routes. Each has been vetted to BS 7858 and is paid under PAYE. The 24/7 in-house control room takes alarm signals and manages keys, and GPS book-on with digital reports shows every patrol stop.
