New Contract - European Prisons

Westminster Group Plc (AIM: WSG), a leading supplier of managed services and
technology-based security solutions worldwide, is pleased to announce that
it's German subsidiary, GLISS GMBH, has secured a contract to provide
sophisticated mobile phone detection systems in a number of European Prisons,
in order to detect, locate and trace mobile phones, smart watches, tablets,
laptops and other similar communication devices being smuggled into or used
within prisons.

 

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."
