Managed security services in Saint Helena
Commercial activity on Saint Helena is concentrated in Jamestown, where Main Street holds government offices, shops, banking and the island’s hotels. The island is reached through St Helena Airport, with cargo arriving at Rupert’s Bay, and visitors come for heritage sites such as Longwood House.
Security considerations in Saint Helena
Requirements on Saint Helena are usually small and specific: offices, retail premises, visitor sites, events and temporary project work in and around Jamestown. Flight schedules are limited, so supervisor visits, relief cover and the arrival of any specialist staff need to be planned well ahead. English is the working language.
