Posted on Friday 1 January 2010

Axis Security, one of the UK’s leading suppliers of security services, has won a further contract with Broadgate Estates to provide security services to a trophy building in its portfolio in the City of London, Ropemaker Place.

Axis Security has worked with Broadgate Estates for a number of years, providing security services to Paternoster Square, the Corn Exchange and 30 North Colonnade. Ropemaker Place is a commercial, twenty-storey building with two trading floors at the lower level. It is occupied by a variety of international finance and investment companies.

Included in this new contract is manned guarding services, management of the post room, control room and loading bay services.

Services are delivered by 30 personnel across 1,310 hours per week, which includes a tenant contract also located at Ropemaker Place and managed by Broadgate Estates. The 26 existing employees were transferred to Axis Security employment via TUPE, and a further four support personnel have been recruited to ensure seamless delivery of the large-scale security operation.

The employee benefits package provided by Axis Security, as well as its learning and development (L&D) strategy, were fundamental to winning the contract. The L&D strategy includes: World Host Training, ensuring the highest levels of customer service; first aid training; banksman training for the traffic marshal; Project Argus and Project Griffin counter-terrorism training; and IOSH health and safety training.
