Paddock Wood sits in a district dominated by professional and business services, yet its own named sites are industrial: a distribution centre, two industrial estates and a solar park. We secure offices and yards alike.
Trusted Protection in Paddock Wood
Across the Tunbridge Wells council area, 1,390 of 6,165 businesses are in professional services, 765 in construction and 560 in business services. Paddock Wood's own named sites tell a different story: Eldon Way Industrial Estate, Woodfalls Industrial Estate, Paddock Wood Distribution Centre and Capel Grange Solar Park. So security here spans reception and key holding for small offices and gatehouse checks, patrols and CCTV for yards and the energy site.
