Asset Protection in Kent

Understanding the Risks

Kent’s geographic position makes it both commercially strategic and operationally exposed. With international transport routes through Dover, Folkestone and Sheerness, along with expanding business districts in Tunbridge Wells and Maidstone, the county faces a broad spectrum of threats. These include theft, targeted protest, insider risk, fraud, fire, and environmental damage. High footfall in retail zones, movement of high-value goods, and the need for ongoing continuity planning all increase the importance of a coordinated security strategy.

Asset protection goes beyond guarding; it is about safeguarding people, property, intellectual capital and operational continuity. WHMG supports this by delivering scalable, discreet and proportionate measures tailored to each client’s location, industry, and risk profile.

High-Risk and High-Value Locations

WHMG regularly provides protection for commercial premises, logistics sites and private clients across Kent. In Chatham and its maritime surroundings, we secure warehousing, bonded storage and port-adjacent infrastructure, working with local emergency services and clients’ insurers to meet safety and compliance standards.

Inland, we support corporate facilities and manufacturing centres in Maidstone and Ashford, including secure control of access, staff protection, and surveillance against internal threats. Tunbridge Wells presents its own requirements, with a mix of heritage properties, professional offices, and residential estates often requiring tailored, non-intrusive solutions.

Combined Security Services

Our asset protection in Kent often overlaps with WHMG’s wider suite of services, including business protection, close protection, and intelligence and surveillance. This allows us to address threats comprehensively, particularly in high-value or high-risk scenarios.

Clients transporting goods or intellectual property through the ports may require secure logistics and escort services. In such cases, we deploy trained personnel and specialist drivers with knowledge of local routes and regulatory requirements. For private individuals or executives based in Kent, we provide close protection and journey management, often supported by local reconnaissance and threat monitoring.

Intelligence-led security is also key when dealing with protest risk, organised theft, or corporate sabotage. Our surveillance teams are trained to identify early warning signs, helping clients take preventative action without disrupting operations.

Security Teams and Technical Systems

WHMG supplies licensed, trained officers to sites across Kent, each equipped to operate in line with local risks and operational needs. We can deploy:

• Mobile response units and K9 patrols for large compounds

• Fire and flood-trained personnel for rural or high-risk sites

• Specialist drivers for secure transport

• Uniformed or plain-clothed officers for retail and residential protection

We also provide a range of technical support systems, including monitored CCTV, access control, intrusion detection and verified alarm response. These systems are integrated to work in real time with our control function and emergency teams.
