Corps Security has landed a contract with the National Farmers Union Mutual Insurance Society Limited (NFU Mutual), the UK insurance composite, to provide a fully integrated security service at over 30 of its sites throughout the UK.
The contract which commenced in April, sees Corps providing a range of services including front of house security personnel with customer facing security guarding, remote monitoring services through Corps Monitoring, and security maintenance across NFU Mutual’s estate.
Following a competitive tender, NFU Mutual selected Corps Security due to both organisations’ focus on social value and the wellness of employees. NFU Mutual chose to work with Corps as part of Social Enterprise UK’s Buy Social Corporate Challenge, which helps large businesses work with innovative suppliers, to embed sustainability into its core operations.
As part of both organisations’ social value commitments, a portion of the revenue generated from the contract is going direct to veteran’s support charity Combat Stress, the UK’s leading charity for veterans’ mental health.
Andrew Malone, Facilities Technical Service Lead of NFU Mutual said: “From the initial conversation we had with Corps it was clear that its approach to delivering excellence in security services through its people made them stand out from their peer group. They have conducted themselves in an exemplary manner since we made the decision to partner with them, resulting in one of our main objectives to retain the employment of the guards who work on our sites. We are looking forward to working with them to further enhance the service we offer the business.”
Andrew Topp, Sales and Marketing Director at Corps Security commented: “Our work with NFU Mutual is incredibly exciting as it allows us to combine our expert services on one account. At Corps Security we are proud to deliver security solutions with social value. We are delighted to form a fulfilling partnership with NFU Mutual which not only protects its people and assets, but also empowers us to collectively ‘do the right thing’ by supporting our social mission via a fully integrated security solution.”
