Normanton is a working town shaped by warehouses and industrial units, from Valencia Park and Mountpark to Whitwood and Normanton Industrial Estate. We guard gates, yards and forecourts here with officers from our West Yorkshire network.
Trusted Protection in Normanton
Look at what lies within 5km of Normanton and the pattern is clear: six named industrial sites, two retail parks at Quora and Castleford, three stations and a stadium at Post Office Road. Transport and logistics make up 7.0% of Wakefield businesses, well above the 4.3% British figure, and the motor trade is also high. That makes gatehouses, loading yards and vehicle stock the main things Normanton firms ask security to protect.
