Fire Safety Services in Hungerford
Hungerford
Hungerford is a historic market town in West Berkshire, with a population of just under 6,000. Set where the River Dun meets the Kennet & Avon Canal, it’s known for its picturesque High Street, Georgian buildings, and vibrant local character. The town has a long heritage, and you’ll still find strong community traditions, from antique markets to the unique annual Hocktide celebrations. It’s a friendly place with a real sense of local pride.
Transport links make Hungerford well-connected despite its rural setting. It’s right on the A4 and just a few minutes from Junction 14 of the M4, giving easy access to Newbury, Reading, Swindon, and London. Hungerford’s railway station sits on the Reading–Taunton line, with regular trains to London Paddington, making it a convenient base for commuters as well as businesses.
The local economy is built around independent shops, hospitality, and small service providers. The High Street is full of antique stores, cafés, and boutiques that attract visitors from across the region. Hungerford also has several schools, including John O’Gaunt School, along with a number of care providers and professional services. Nearby agricultural businesses and artisan workshops also play a part in the local employment mix.
Neighbouring areas add to the town’s appeal. Newbury, just down the road, is a major hub for retail, tech, and business services. Marlborough is to the east, and Lambourn—a centre for horse racing—is just to the north. Local villages like Kintbury, Charnham, and Eddington help create a close-knit network of rural communities that support local trade.
At ESI, we work with businesses across Hungerford and the surrounding area to keep their premises safe and compliant. Whether it’s a shop, school, office, or care provider, we deliver expert electrical and fire safety services—efficient, professional, and hassle-free.
