Cordant Security, the contract security part of Cordant Group, has been awarded a two-year contract extension to continue providing a wide range of dedicated security solutions at Shakespeare’s Globe on Bankside, beside the Thames in London.
Since last year, Cordant has supplied 24/7 staffed security, 365-days a year, at the Globe, which comprises the Globe Theatre, Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, education and research faculty and guided tours, besides retail, catering and events spaces. The venue attracts over a million visitors a year.
Cordant’s remit includes search and screening, internal and external patrolling, overt and plain-clothes security, and access control, including key-holding, deliveries and car park management. Officers will continue to live monitor CCTV and report and respond to any incidents. They have also been given specific customer service training to answer queries from the public.
Sandra Lynes Timbrell, Director of Exhibition & Tour and Visitor Experience at the Globe, said: “Over the past year we have been thoroughly impressed by Cordant Security, whose team remains committed to prioritising the safety of our guests, as well as further enhancing the overall visitor experience. This contract extension is well deserved.”
And Brendan Musgrove, Managing Director at Cordant Security, said: “We have taken great pride at being given the opportunity to support one of the UK’s most famous venues – and this has been demonstrated by our exceptional service levels. We are extremely pleased to cement this important relationship and we look forward to the next two years and beyond.”
