HG Walter, one of the UK’s leading premium butchers, commissioned Oakley Food Projects to design and deliver a complete turnkey conversion of a 100,000 sq ft warehouse in Park Royal, North London. The project transformed the building into a state-of-the-art refrigerated food production facility with three additional mezzanine levels, increasing the operational footprint to more than 250,000 sq ft and maximising the building’s cubic capacity.
Anchor Sound & Security was appointed to design, install and commission a fully integrated security and connectivity solution that would support the site’s complex operational requirements while providing a scalable platform for future growth. Working closely with Oakley Food Projects and HG Walter throughout the build, we delivered an intelligent ecosystem combining AI-enabled CCTV, Gallagher access control, workforce management integration, site-wide communications and Microsoft Teams collaboration technology.
The result is a secure, connected and highly efficient facility where security, workforce management and operational technology work together to improve productivity, compliance and day-to-day operations—demonstrating how modern security systems can become a strategic business asset rather than simply protecting the perimeter.
Anchor Security & Solutions was appointed to design, install and commission a complete integrated security and connectivity solution, working closely with both HG Walter and Oakley Food Projects throughout the design and construction process.
The system was carefully designed around the operational requirements of the facility, ensuring security enhanced productivity rather than creating barriers to daily operations.
The solution included:
The completed facility represents one of the UK’s most advanced bespoke meat processing and distribution centres.
By integrating security, access control and workforce management into a single connected ecosystem, HG Walter has significantly improved operational efficiency while maintaining the high standards of food safety, compliance and security expected within the food manufacturing sector.
The intelligent CCTV system not only enhances security but also provides valuable operational insights through AI-powered analytics, while the integration between Gallagher and RotaOne has streamlined staff onboarding, access permissions, time recording and payroll administration.
The result is a highly connected facility that supports future growth, improves day-to-day operations and provides the technology infrastructure required for a modern food manufacturing business.
