Local context — compartmentation surveys in Reading
Reading is the largest concentration of technology HQs outside London — Microsoft, Oracle, PepsiCo, and Cisco all anchor Green Park or Thames Valley Park. Data centres along the M4 corridor add a layer of physical-security demands few other UK towns match.
