Watling Street Business Park and Coppice Side Industrial Estate are Burntwood's main commercial addresses. We patrol and guard them, alongside utility sites and local pubs, across the Lichfield district.
Trusted Protection in Burntwood
Burntwood's named commercial ground is concentrated in a handful of places: Watling Street Business Park, Coppice Side Industrial Estate, Maple Brook Pumping Station and Burntwood sewage treatment works. Business units need key holding and alarm response, while utility sites sit unattended for long stretches and suit patrols and remote monitoring. We plan routes that take in each site and log every check by GPS.
