Professional services lead with 6,195, tech and communications follow with 4,720 and business services with 2,235. Tech accounts for 18% of the borough's firms, far beyond the British 7%, and offices and server rooms in that sector usually need controlled access, visitor management and monitored cameras rather than a guard on every door. Property is the other standout at 8.1% against 4.7% nationally. Landlords and managing agents with empty buildings need void inspections, key holding and alarm response to keep squatters and thieves out. Everyone we deploy across these contracts is BS 7858 vetted and paid through PAYE, and the size of the local pool means regular faces on regular sites. 355 SIA-licensed officers within 10 miles 26,295 Registered businesses in Hackney 82 Warehouse buildings mapped within 5 km 224 Active construction sites mapped within 5 km ### Parks, centres and venues near Hackney - **Industrial & business parks:** Valor Park, Stour Road Industrial Estate, Hamlet Industrial Estate, King's Yard Energy Centre, Bow Triangle Business Centre and East 10 Enterprise Park - **Retail parks & shopping centres:** Kingsland Shopping Centre, The Factory, Anchor Retail Park, Boxpark Shoreditch, Westfield Stratford City and Leyton Mills Retail Park - **Hospitals:** John Howard Centre, Homerton University Hospital, Mile End Hospital and Mildmay Mission Hospital - **Rail stations:** Homerton, London Fields, Hackney Central, Hackney Downs and Cambridge Heath ### Venues & Martyn's Law Hackney Empire, MOTH Club and Hackney Picturehouse all sit inside the 5km circle.
