Situation

This newly built multi-million pound fire station in West Norwood was undergoing a final fit-out by contractors before handover to the London Fire Brigade. Vigilance was tasked with securing and controlling access to the construction site to prevent unauthorised access and theft of materials. We were subsequently contracted to supply security for the station’s high-profile opening event, working in partnership with the emergency services to gather intelligence and plan the safe running of the day’s schedule.

• Intelligence Reporting and close protection of event guests, including Government ministers and public figures

• The opening event ran seamlessly, with any security risks anticipated and mitigated
• Public safety and engagement were improved
