Trusted Protection in Horley
Reigate and Banstead has 6,950 registered businesses, and two sectors stand out. Professional services lead with 1,370 firms, a 19.7% share against 15.6% across Britain, and construction follows closely with 1,300, at 18.7%. Around Horley, that translates into offices wanting concierge and key holding, and building plots wanting towers and night patrols. Add cargo and trade parks near the airport and the range of security needs is unusually wide for a town this size.
Horley Business Profile
Fifty-five security workers in our network live inside 10 miles of Horley. Of these, 25 hold a current SIA licence and can be booked, and 15 have a car, a useful proportion for mobile patrols between business parks and trade estates. Each officer is BS 7858 vetted, paid through PAYE and books on by GPS, so clients can see when every shift starts.
For professional firms, the usual requirement is reception security, office concierge and someone to hold keys and answer alarms after hours. Construction is different: with 22 sites mapped within 5km and an 18.7% local share, plant and materials theft is the worry, so CCTV towers and out-of-hours patrols are the common answer. Business services, the third largest group at 655, often need a blend of both.
