Fast-growing security company, Octavian Security has landed a two-year contract to provide security for the redevelopment of Gloucester Quays.Fast-growing security company, Octavian Security has landed a two-year contract to provide security for the redevelopment of Gloucester Quays.

The security firm has been appointed by the regeneration project's construction management contractor, Bovis Lend Lease, to provide 24-hour security for the site whilst the £110 million development is in progress.

Octavian will mobilise a 43-man team, including a dedicated site manager and supervisors, to provide access/egress control, bespoke security consultancy and an alarm and incident response service on behalf of the contractor, to which Octavian has been an approved supplier since 2005.

The contract will be overseen by Octavian Security's operations and training director, Jot Engelbrecht, who says of the win: "Gloucester Quays is doubly significant for Octavian as not only is it our largest single win of 2007 that we have secured against some of our largest competitors, but it's for a blue chip client to work on one of its own largest projects.

"We are already working with Bovis Lend Lease on a number of other projects, and so it is rewarding to see that the company has been impressed enough with our service to award us with the handling of such a large security brief."

Octavian's major Bovis Lend Lease contract follows the security company's announcement of the launch of its first Vancouver office.  Octavian Security tendered for the Gloucester Quays contract against a number of other prominent UK security companies.
