A national contract to provide security to the high street retail chain 99p Stores has been awarded to Kingdom after a supplier review process.
St Helens-based Kingdom reports that it started providing security to 99p Stores from December 1. They are providing permanent guarding to 36 stores and one distribution centre, with a particular focus on stores in London and the south, but will also be covering stores as far north as Leeds, and Salford and Harpurhey in Greater Manchester.
99p Stores is a family run business which was started in 2001 by entrepreneur Nadir Lalani.

The retail chain offers over 4,000 items from everyday grocery, snacks and drinks to homewares, essential DIY tools, stationery, kids toys, health, beauty and household products.
