Ashford isn’t the sleepy market town it once was. It’s grown fast: new business parks along the M20, a booming outlet centre, and thousands of extra homes going up around Chilmington Green and Finberry. With growth comes a different kind of risk profile.
Kent Police figures for the twelve months to April 2026 put Ashford among the five most dangerous major towns in the county, with an overall crime rate of 87 offences per 1,000 people, roughly 26% above the county average of 69.
Shoplifting is the standout problem locally. Ashford’s retail crime rate sits at more than double the national average, with over 750 reported incidents logged by Kent Police in a single year; a figure that hits hard for retailers around County Square, Park Mall and the Designer Outlet.
Weapon possession offences and drug-related incidents are also running above the national benchmark. None of this is meant to alarm anyone. It’s simply the backdrop that makes proper site security less of a nice-to-have and more of a basic cost of doing business here.
That’s really the case for working with our security company Ashford, rather than trying to patch things together with a single night watchman or an alarm box nobody checks. Our guards are trained specifically around the risks this town actually faces. They handle shop theft, out-of-hours break-ins on industrial estates, and opportunist crime around construction sites mid-build; not a generic textbook scenario.
We are an SIA Approved Contractor, ISO 9001:2015 certified, and SafeContractor approved. This means every single security service we deliver in Ashford meets rigorous, independently audited standards for quality and safety.
All officers fully SIA licensed & vetted
Quality management system certified
Health & safety compliance accredited
From gatehouse access to overnight patrols, we build cover around how your Ashford site actually operates, not a generic template.
Our static guards provide a visible, reassuring presence at your Ashford premises. From factories and warehouses to offices, they monitor access points, deter intruders, and respond instantly to any security breach.
Our gatehouse officers manage vehicle and pedestrian access at Ashford’s industrial estates, business parks, and gated developments. They verify credentials, log entries, and ensure only authorised personnel enter.
Security dog handlers with NASDU-accredited canines provide unmatched deterrence. Their visible deterrent and rapid search capability genuinely change behaviour on the ground. Our K9 units detect threats and control crowds effectively.
Our trained guards move freely across your site, check visitors, patrol perimeters, and handle emergencies. Perfect for Ashford’s event venues, student accommodations, and busy public spaces.
From the first enquiry to guards on-site, we keep the process fast and clear. No lengthy back-and-forth, no guesswork. Just a straightforward path to proper site cover.
We walk your site, whether that's a retail unit near the Outlet or a yard off the M20. We look at access points, footfall, and risk areas before suggesting anything.
You get a plan built for your site, not a generic package. It sets out guard hours, patrol frequency, and exactly what's covered.
We deploy vetted, SIA-licensed guards who start on the agreed date. Every guard is briefed on your site's layout and specific risks beforehand.
You get regular updates on patrols, incidents, and site activity, so you always know what's happening even when you're not there.
Understanding your industry is what makes our security services Ashford so effective. We tailor our security solutions to your industry’s unique challenges.
On builds like Chilmington Green and Conningbrook Lakes, our K9 handlers search plant and storage compounds after hours. Our static guards watch the main compound gate during the day, and mobile patrols check scaffolding and fencing for breaches.
Across Orbital Park, Waterbrook Park and Carlton Road Business Park, our gatehouse teams check every HGV and visitor against a site log. Our mobile patrols sweep the perimeter overnight, and keyholding covers alarm response when the yard is empty.
Around County Square, Park Mall and the Designer Outlet, we place uniformed static guards at entrances and exits. They run floor patrols during trading hours and tie our CCTV monitoring directly into your till and stockroom cameras.
At Connect 38, Eureka Park and across the Ashford Commercial Quarter, we staff front-of-house reception with static guards who badge-check visitors. They also monitor car park CCTV and log deliveries. So tenants get a professional first point of contact.
Around student accommodation and estates like Repton Park, our gatehouse teams control who enters shared buildings. Our mobile patrols check communal areas and car parks late at night. Our keyholding handles alarm call-outs when residents can’t be reached.
For GP surgeries, care homes and council buildings across the borough, we provide static guards trained in safeguarding at entrances, CCTV monitoring of access points, and keyholding for out-of-hours alarm response.
Eleven years in the trade, SIA approval, and a genuinely local footprint mean we’re not learning Ashford’s risk patterns from scratch. We already know where the trouble tends to start.
We hold SIA Approved Contractor status, ISO 9001:2015 certification, SafeContractor and SMAS Worksafe approval, and NASDU recognition for our K9 units. They’re the credentials procurement and facilities teams across Kent that actively verify before signing off on a contractor. Being a Constructionline Silver Member additionally means we’re pre-qualified for construction sector work without extra paperwork on your end. This speeds up onboarding considerably when a site needs to be covered fast. We’re currently ranked in the top 25% of UK security companies, which reflects consistent service rather than a one-off award.
Our REMS guard tracking system logs QR check-ins every 45 minutes across every site we cover, which means gaps in patrol get flagged fast rather than discovered after an incident. You get live incident alerts complete with images and, where police were involved, a reference number attached to the report. You will get useful documentation rather than a vague email the next day. It’s a small operational detail, but it’s the difference between a security company you have to chase for updates and one that keeps you informed without being asked.
Our guards aren’t dropped into Ashford from somewhere else for a single shift. They know the layout of Eureka Park, the quiet corners of Orbital Park, and the after-dark patterns around County Square and the station. That local familiarity means faster response to genuine incidents and fewer false alarms wasting your time. Combined with over eleven years of operating history and thirty-plus years of combined frontline and management experience across our senior team, it means the person managing your contract has actually walked sites like yours before.

Most sites can have guards deployed within 24 to 48 hours of an assessment, though urgent cover, such as after a break-in, is often arranged the same day, subject to guard availability.
Yes, our guards are trained for both. We cover one-off events like the Enjoy Wolverhampton BID deployments and also run long-term static contracts lasting months or years for industrial and retail clients.
Static guarding keeps a guard fixed at one location watching entry points, while manned guarding involves active patrolling, visitor checks and quicker response across a wider area, often used together on larger sites.
Yes, our REMS system logs QR check-ins every 45 minutes, and you’ll receive incident alerts with images and reference numbers where relevant, so patrol activity is documented rather than just promised.
Yes, we cover rural and semi-rural sites across the borough, including Charing, Bethersden and Wye, using mobile patrols and keyholding response rather than a fixed on-site guard.
Feedback from site managers and business owners across the borough consistently points to the same things: guards who turn up on time, patrols that are properly logged, and a team that responds fast when something actually happens on site.
Whether it’s a warehouse on Orbital Park or a retail unit near County Square, a site walkthrough is the fastest way to see exactly what cover you need.
