Trusted Protection in Towcester
West Northamptonshire's three biggest sectors are construction with 3,085 firms, professional services with 2,830 and transport and logistics with 1,670. That last group, at 8.6% against 4.3% for Britain, brings depots and warehouses that need gate control and guarded yards. The motor trade also runs ahead of the national rate. Around Towcester itself, named sites such as Caswell Science and Technology Park, Parker Kitchens and Shacks Barn Farm show the spread from technical premises to farmland.
