Security group drives south of the Border
Site security company Safer Scotland has begun its advance into England thanks to a six-figure contract win in Northumberland.
The“breakthrough” deal, worth some £500,000, has been signed with major building and civil engineering contractor Farrans for the Northumberland Energy Park.
It is th elates tina run of contract wins which will push the Paisley firm’s turnover to in excess of £1.6 million, up by 50 per cent on this year.
Security specialist and business founder Ryan Clark said: “This is an important new step which opens up a world of potential for our offering. The opportunities in England are 50 times greater than north of the Border.”
The Northumberland contract, which will run for twoand-a-half years, will involve a bespoke CCTV package, manguarding and access control at the strategic land develop - ment sites across the Bly th estuary.
The deal comes on the back of a contract win with Farrans for a road realignment project in Aberdeen shire. That, in turn, followed a £200,000 deal at the £38m Farrans Roadbridge Joint Venture which was set up to construct the A737 Dalry bypass.
Clark added :“The bypass was a rolling project with constantly changing power needs and risk profiles.
“The client wanted a tower which they could move themselves and which would not be dependent on replacing hydrogen power cell gas canisters. We developed a solution which combined solar panels and an inbuilt wind turbine capacity.”
