Queenborough-in-Sheppey Business Profile
Fifteen people in our network have a home address within 10 miles of Queenborough, and ten of them carry an SIA licence that is in date, making them bookable for shifts. Each has passed BS 7858 vetting and is paid through PAYE. That local pool lets us staff a gatehouse, a retail floor or a building site with people who know the island roads, backed by our 24/7 control room and GPS-logged patrol reports.
Swale has 5,340 registered businesses. Construction leads with 1,085, then professional services on 660 and business services on 435. Transport and logistics stands out at 7% of firms against 4.3% across Great Britain, so gate control, yard checks and warehouse guarding matter more here than in many districts. Utilities, at 0.9%, also run above the national share, and critical sites of that kind suit remote CCTV monitoring.
