LONDON - Westminster Group Plc (AIM: WSG), a global security solutions provider, has announced that its German subsidiary, GLISS GMBH, has been awarded a contract to implement advanced mobile phone detection systems in various European prisons. This technology is aimed at identifying and tracking unauthorized communication devices like mobile phones, smart watches, tablets, and laptops that are smuggled into or used illicitly within prison facilities.
The deal highlights Westminster's ongoing commitment to delivering sophisticated security solutions to government entities and major organizations worldwide. In recent months, the company has also secured contracts for X-ray maintenance and training services for a top global financial institution in November and security concierge services for high-profile UK sites in October, which added £650,000 to its annual recurring revenue.
Westminster's CEO, Peter Fowler, commented on the significance of the new contract, emphasizing the growing challenge illicit communication devices pose in correctional facilities. These devices can enable criminal activities, harassment, and escape attempts, compromising the security of the institutions and the safety of staff and inmates. Fowler expressed his pleasure at Westminster's role in supporting European prison authorities to mitigate these security threats.
The financial terms and specific prisons involved in the contract have not been disclosed. This new agreement is part of Westminster's strategic expansion of its security services portfolio and contributes to the company's growing presence in the European market.
