Corps Security has won a contract with The Langham Estate, a multi-site residential and commercial property management company in Fitzrovia, central London, that began on November 1.
The Corps and its remote services division Corps Monitoring are combining physical security guarding with remote monitoring and response. This will be supported over the contract by Corps’ specialist consultancy team, Corps Consult, carrying out security reviews, surveys and audits depending on the estates’ requirements. The Corps will provide services for 56 sites across the estate, with 18 people transferring to the company.
The Langham Estate appointed Corps after a competitive tender process, where the security firm says it showed its security expertise and capabilities as well as social value credentials; it’s a social enterprise. The Estates has a commitment to paying a living wage and advocacy for officer wellbeing and work-life balance, shared by the Corps, it adds.
The Langham Estate, which dates from 1925, as a neighbourhood in London W1, offers residences, commercial office space and leisure and retail.
Andrew Topp, sales and marketing director at Corps Security, said: “We are delighted for our new relationship with The Langham Estate, exploring the best-in-class integrated security solutions to keep people and assets safe and secure. Our company values align and we are looking forward to forging a strong relationship grounded in trust, collaboration and innovation – the best recipe to drive success and create a lasting impact.”
Graeme Noot, head of FM (facilities management) at The Langham Estate, said: “From early in the tender process, Corps stood out as the leading candidate. They align closely with our people values, commitment to service excellence as well as shared our commitment to sustainability. Their ability to support us through our drive to a more innovative security solution across the estate which we believe will further enhance our customer experience. We are looking forward to working closely with Corps to further develop our security services and grow our partnership.”
