Fire Safety Services in Newbury
Newbury is a lively market town in West Berkshire with a population of around 34,000, nestled in the Kennet Valley. It’s known for its historic charm, riverside setting, and a bustling town centre lined with Georgian buildings and independent shops. It’s the administrative heart of West Berkshire and a popular place to live and work, thanks to a great mix of heritage, green space, and modern amenities.
Getting around is easy. Newbury has two train stations on the Reading–Taunton line, offering regular services to Reading, London Paddington, and towns further west. If you’re driving, the town is right by the M4 and the A34, with good road connections to Oxford, Basingstoke, and Winchester. This makes it a prime spot for both commuters and businesses looking to serve clients across the region.
The local economy is one of Newbury’s biggest strengths. It’s home to a number of major employers, including Vodafone, which has been based in the town for decades. You’ll also find companies like Micro Focus, Newbury Building Society, Stryker, and National Instruments here. The town attracts businesses in professional services, tech, manufacturing, and R&D, many of which are based in and around local business parks.
Newbury is part of a strong regional network. Thatcham is just a few miles away, and together the two towns form an urban area with over 70,000 people. Other nearby areas include Donnington, Speen, Shaw, and Greenham. Lambourn is to the north with its horse racing connections, while Pangbourne, Whitchurch, and Greenham Common lie to the east and south, all supporting the broader economic area.
At ESI, we help businesses across Newbury, Thatcham, and nearby villages stay compliant with essential electrical and fire safety services. Whether you’re in an office, shop, school, or care setting, our engineers carry out fixed-wire testing, emergency lighting checks, fire alarm servicing, and full compliance audits—professionally, efficiently, and with minimal disruption.
