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

 

"In our recent Annual Report, I expressed optimism that, as the worst impact
of the global Covid-19 pandemic recedes and business confidence begins to
return we expected to see renewed growth in our products and solutions sales
and recent contract awards have been encouraging.

contract to protect a national parliament building. Westminster are a trusted
provider of security solutions and services to governments around the world
and this contract is one of number of national parliaments and seats of
government we protect."
