The Company Test Grounds
Westminster houses its test grounds and company headquarters on a 4½ acre site outside Banbury, UK Coordinates: 52°04′N 1°17′W / 52.067°N 1.283°W / 52.067; -1.283. Many of the Group’s products and services are demonstrated on the grounds and inside corporate headquarters (e.g. access control systems, surveillance monitoring etc.). The Group regularly hosts overseas visitors and clients to discuss specific requirements, test products and evaluate appropriate systems.
The test grounds hold some of the world's most sophisticated perimeter security solutions, pipeline protection systems and integrated thermal imaging/night vision CCTV camera systems. Many of these systems were showcased during Westminster’s Open Days in September 2009. The BBC filmed and aired a two-minute segment, dubbed as "James Bond-Style Gadgets are devised for real". Westminster's Corporate Video demonstrates additional defence and security equipment not shown in the BBC video.

—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“The best persuaded of himself, so crammed, as he thinks, with excellencies, that it is his grounds of faith that all that look on him love him.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
