Ealing mixes offices, building firms, shops and an above-average share of wholesalers and tech companies. Our officers cover trading estates, shopping centres, offices and late-night venues across the town.
Trusted Protection in Ealing
Ealing has 18,410 registered businesses, led by professional services at 2,790 and construction close behind at 2,710. Retail adds 1,935. Two sectors run well ahead of the national pattern: wholesale, at 5.7% compared with 3.6%, and tech and communications, at 9.5% against 7.0%. In practice that means warehouses needing gatehouse control on estates such as Westpoint and Phoenix, data and office sites wanting monitored access, and shopping centres like Centre Square that need uniformed presence.
Ealing Business Profile
Officers in our network who live within 10 miles of Ealing number 375, and 145 of those are SIA-licensed and active for shifts. About 35 drive, which helps when patrol routes join BBC Park Western, Manhattan Business Park and Westwood Park. Recruitment follows BS 7858 vetting, pay runs through PAYE, and every patrol is recorded with GPS book-on and a digital report.
For wholesalers, we usually set up gatehouse control and warehouse guarding with mobile patrols at night. Tech and communications firms lean on access control and CCTV monitoring delivered by an NSI Gold accredited centre. The 78 mapped construction sites call for site guarding and CCTV towers, while the retail spread from The Oaks to Westway Shopping Park and Kew Retail Park suits store detectives and door officers.
Ealing Picturehouse, Questors Theatre and The Red Room nightclub are among the local venues; any that hold 200 or more people will need a documented security plan once Martyn's Law takes effect. What Martyn's Law means for venues.
