Professional practices lead comfortably on 1,390, with construction firms next on 765 and business services on 560. At 22.5% of all firms, professional services sit well clear of Britain's 15.6%, which means a lot of small offices with client records, laptops and shared entrances. Reception cover in the day and somebody holding keys after hours tend to be the right fit. Tech and communications businesses are 9.0% of the local count, two points over the British 7.0%. Those firms usually care most about who comes through the door, so logged access control with remote camera monitoring suits them. Whatever the site, our officers arrive SIA-licensed, BS 7858 cleared and PAYE employed, and GPS records each visit for your file. 6,165 Registered businesses in Tunbridge Wells 9 Active construction sites mapped within 5 km 61 Pubs, bars & nightclubs within 5 km ### Southborough's shops, parks and stages - **Industrial & business parks:** Gallagher Group and ASHOUR 1 - **Retail parks & shopping centres:** Stag Trade Park, Knights Park, The Pavilion, Royal Victoria Shopping Centre and Angel Walk Shopping Centre - **Hospitals:** Tonbridge Cottage Hospital, Tunbridge Wells Hospital at Pembury and Tunbridge Wells Nuffield Hospital - **Rail stations:** High Brooms, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells and Leigh ### Venues & Martyn's Law The Assembly Hall Theatre, Trinity Theatre and The Forum draw regular audiences, and the Odeon screens nightly.

Southborough Security FAQs ## Frequently asked questions ### Can you guard a unit on Knights Park or Stag Trade Park? Yes. Both are within easy reach of Southborough. Trade-park units usually need lock-up rounds, callout cover when the alarm trips and someone holding keys, and a camera tower can be added where stock or vehicles sit in an open yard overnight. ### Could you place a guard in Royal Victoria or Angel Walk? We could. With 58 shoplifting offences and 47 other thefts recorded nearby over the year, retailers in the shopping centres use our uniformed guards and plain-clothes detectives to deter theft and back up staff. ### What would you suggest for a professional office? Professional firms make up 22.5% of Tunbridge Wells businesses, where the British rate is 15.6%. Most offices are well served by a front-desk officer during the day, then keyholding and alarm attendance once everyone has gone home. ### Motorbikes keep tearing round our car park. What can be done? Nuisance motorbikes are a stated priority for the Southborough and Bidborough police team. Monitored CCTV gives police clear footage, and patrols at varied times discourage riders from using car parks and yards. ### Can you secure theatres and event venues? Yes. Venues such as the Assembly Hall Theatre, Trinity Theatre and The Goldsmid Hall are close by. Anywhere admitting 200 or more should start preparing for Martyn's Law before it takes effect, and our stewards, search staff and planners can help.
