Atalian Servest has been awarded a three-year manned guarding contract by the Queen Elizabeth II (QEII) Centre, central London’s largest conference and exhibition venue.
The contract which mobilised on the 25th April 2022, employs a team of 21 colleagues to provide manned guarding and front of house solutions. Underpinned by technology to enhance resilience and drive efficiencies, a bespoke security system is deployed for patrols, and paper logbooks, records of conversations and incident reporting are replaced with digital versions.
Atalian Servest was awarded this contract due to the service provider’s proven track record in directly delivering a wide range of facilities services to high profile clients, most notably at the G7 Leaders’ Summit in Cornwall and COP26 in Glasgow.
The QEII Centre is central London’s largest dedicated conference and exhibition space, hosting over 400 events per year. Widely regarded as a beacon of British excellence, the QEII Centre delivers unbeatable service, modern facilities and versatile spaces that provide a range of options for event organisers across the world. Since opening in 1986, it has hosted thousands of international and national conferences, congresses, and exhibitions from a multitude of sectors including intergovernmental organisations, FTSE 100 companies, technology and software and medical associations and has welcomed leaders of trade, industry, and nations.
Neil Chandler the QEII Centre’s Venue Operations Director, comments: “We are pleased to be working with Atalian Servest to provide a holistic approach to our security provision. Their forward-thinking vision to implement improvements and drive efficiencies has already been instrumental, and we look forward to growing the partnership.”
Daniel Dickson, CEO Atalian Servest UK & Ireland, adds: “Following the successful mobilisation, we look forward to delivering an excellent service and establishing a partnership with the QEII centre. Our proven track record, experience and key learnings in providing robust security solutions for UK Government departments will be key to the success of this relationship.”
