A three-year contract to provide security services at Michelin’s factory in Stoke-on-Trent has gone to Corps Security. Some nine security staff will TUPE over to the Corps, led by a site supervisor.
The contractor will provide guarding services, including a vehicle for site patrols, front-of-house customer service, and visitor management for Michelin’s manufacturing and storage facility. Given the nature of the materials and volumes involved, the site presents a fire risk and requires emergency procedures and health and safety protocols. The Corps will also provide ongoing consultancy through Corps Intel, the contractor’s intelligence and specialist risk management consultancy. This will include threat and vulnerability assessments.
