Westminster Group unit RMS wins second Basildon Academy contract

Westminster Group (AIM: WSG) said its subsidiary RMS Integrated Solutions has won a new contract worth £100,000 to provide a range of security services to the Upper Academy in Basildon, UK.

This is the second Basildon Academy contract awarded to RMS and follows the successful completion of its contract for the Lower Academy. This new deal involves the provision of Fire & Intruder Alarms, Disabled Refuge and Disabled WC warning systems throughout the development.

RMS is a specialist provider of integrated low voltage systems throughout the UK. The company’s technology applications include Fire & Security Systems, CCTV, Structured Cabling and Wireless Data Distribution Technology.

Working with contractors, consultants and major clients throughout the UK, RMS has delivered a portfolio of installations including the Ontario Tower in Canary Warf, Empire Square in London and the Rotunda luxury apartment complex in Birmingham.

This latest contract follows a number of other new projects awarded through the group since the turn of the year. “we have started 2010 in a very positive fashion with all subsidiaries winning important business across all sectors in which we operate. Our enquiry levels remain high and the outlook for 2010 remains positive", Westminster CEO Peter Fowler said.

Earlier this month the company’s other operating divisions also expanded their business. Westminster International entered into a four year framework contract with the UK Ministry of Justice to provide security services for UK prisons. While the Longmoor Security consultancy extended its fully-subscribed close protection (CP) training programme, to offer extra courses following an unprecedented level of demand.

Also in January, Westminster International appointed a dedicated sales director in response to the significant increase in enquiry levels and new orders since the group’s flotation group in 2007. The higher level of activity also resulted in the opening of two new offices, in Abu Dhabi and Kuala Lumpur, and the appointment of further agents.  http://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/12697/westminster-group-unit-rms-wins-second-basildon-academy-contract-12697.html
