Such contracts underscore Westminster's commitment to delivering high-quality, customer-focused security and support solutions to governments and 'Blue Chip' organisations around the world. Recent examples of these solutions being provided by Westminster include the contract secured in November to provide comprehensive X-ray maintenance and training services to a leading global financial leader; and the contract secured in October to provide security concierge services across a number of prominent sites in the United Kingdom adding a further £650,000 to Westminster's growing annual recurring revenue stream.

Commenting on the latest contract award Westminster's CEO, Peter Fowler, said:

"Mobile phones and other illicit communication devices are a significant and growing problem in prisons and custodial centres due to their potential to facilitate illegal activities and compromise security. Such devices are used to coordinate criminal activities, including drug trafficking, harassment, and escape attempts. These devices also pose a threat to prison staff and other inmates by enabling communication with the outside world, leading to potential violence and unrest within the prison environment.

"As a leading provider of security solutions to governments and organisation around the world, Westminster is perfectly placed to assist prison authorities counter such threats and I am delighted we have secured this latest important new contract in Europe."
