Professional access control across Stevenage

Stevenage is a major commercial centre in Hertfordshire, with significant business parks, industrial areas, and a large town centre. We serve clients across Stevenage, Knebworth, and Codicote, including businesses in the Gunnels Wood Road employment area and the town centre retail district.

Stevenage is dominated by Gunnels Wood Road — one of the largest single-occupier employment areas in Hertfordshire, home to GSK, Airbus and MBDA — alongside the town centre retail core and the Lister Hospital campus. Defence and pharma occupiers raise the security and audit-trail spec significantly above commercial baseline.

Gunnels Wood defence and pharma sites require BS 7858-vetted engineers, encrypted-credential access control (Paxton Net2 with smart-card or biometric), and full audit-trail retention.

Whether you need a new access control installation, a system upgrade, or ongoing servicing and maintenance, our SSAIB-certified engineers are ready to help across Stevenage and the wider Hertfordshire area.
