Trusted Protection in Wandsworth
The borough's three biggest sectors are professional services with 3,770 firms, tech and communications with 1,650 and business services with 1,555. Professional services make up 24.7% of businesses against 15.6% nationally, and tech 10.8% against 7.0%.

Shops, nightlife and 100 mapped construction sites round out the Wandsworth picture.
Wandsworth Business Profile
Our network holds 400 registered security workers who live within 10 miles of Wandsworth. Of those, 160 carry an active SIA licence and are available for booking, and 35 have vehicles for patrol and alarm response routes. That supports permanent concierge desks in office buildings as well as night patrols across several smaller sites, with GPS book-on visible to our 24/7 control room.
