Marines contract for Corps

23 Nov 09

Over 140 Corps Security staff will be deployed to provide gate security, pass issue, vehicle search and patrol duties – both foot patrols and CCTV sweeps.

They will work closely with the ever-present military guards within each of the Royal Marines and Army Commando Barracks to ensure that the integrity of each establishment is maintained at all times.

Corps Security says its personnel “will deliver these services with a fresh and operationally lead approach, adding new resources to the contract, such as security search dogs and extended mobile patrols”.

Gary Broad, Corps Security chief operating officer, said: “This is a major success for Corps Security and we will work tirelessly to ensure that the contract is supported in the most professional manner. We very much look forward to working with the other security agencies at each of the locations.”

Corps Security is proud of its heritage, which contains many links with the British Armed Forces - the Royal Marines in particular. Its President, Lieutenant General Sir Henry Beverley, was Commandant General Royal Marines from 1990 to 1994. Sir Henry will maintain a keen interest in this contract and looks forward to visiting the sites in due course.
