Security

Security is a priority at Westcott. Your business is protected by CCTV cameras, a 9 mile fence, 24/7 security guards, vehicle barriers and Automatic Number Plate Recognition.

Top Secret. Restricted Access.

As a rocket facility during the Cold War, Westcott was built to protect its secrets from outside access. That era is now part of history, but the high levels of security remain.

CCTV

Inside the park there is a comprehensive network of CCTV cameras which are monitored from the gatehouse entrance. Westcott may be a large space, but we have it well covered.

Security controlled gatehouse

The gatehouse forms part of a management complex at the entrance to the park where the security guards and on-site team can offer assistance to all park occupiers and their visitors. This is the sole access through the 9 mile perimeter fence.

Number plate recognition

Automatic Number Plate Recognition records every vehicle entering or leaving the park. There have been a number of occasions where this recorded information has been invaluable in protecting on-site businesses.

The key factor for us here is the space to store and work on our buildings. Security is excellent too: the gates are manned 24/7.
