Southborough split from Marlborough as the “south borough” in 1727, and the town has long been known for its boarding schools — Fay School, founded in 1866, and St. Mark’s School, founded in 1865, both still operate in town today. The Sudbury Reservoir occupies roughly a tenth of Southborough’s land area, and the town is also home to Virtusa Corporation, an IT services company headquartered on Turnpike Road.

How Hub Saves Southborough Customers Money
Consolidating under one Hub contract also tends to cost less than piecing together separate vendors for guards, patrol, and investigative work: one onboarding process instead of several, no coverage gaps that force you to pay a second vendor’s overtime rate to fill them, and one predictable monthly invoice instead of surprise call-out fees. That matters in Southborough, where corporate offices along Turnpike Road sit close to residential neighborhoods near the Sudbury Reservoir — Hub can bundle commercial coverage with residential checks nearby under a single route instead of billing each separately.
Southborough’s own character is distinctive: the town split from Marlborough as the “south borough” in 1727, and it has long been known for its boarding schools — Fay School, founded in 1866, and St. Mark’s School, founded in 1865, both still operate in town today. The Sudbury Reservoir occupies roughly a tenth of Southborough’s land area, and the town is also home to Virtusa Corporation, an IT services company headquartered on Turnpike Road. Hub’s licensed guards support both Southborough’s corporate campuses and its residential neighborhoods.
