Trusted Protection in Epsom and Ewell
Of the 3,685 businesses registered in Epsom and Ewell, 780 are in professional services and 420 in tech and communications. Both sectors are over-represented compared with Great Britain, so a large share of local security work involves offices: front-desk cover, controlled entry, CCTV monitoring and someone to hold keys and attend alarms. Alongside them, construction accounts for 615 firms, and the Ashley Centre and Spread Eagle Walk bring retail to the town centre.
