Octavian Security has won the contract to provide security for one of the world's leading motorsport and automotive technology businesses, Prodrive.
The security firm's new three-year contract will see it providing manned security services at Prodrive's UK headquarters in Banbury and its Kenilworth facilities. These are the very facilities in which Prodrive works on new technologies for its vehicle manufacturer clients, and also develops the vehicles within its own Subaru World Rally Team, Aston Martin Racing and Ford Performance Racing.
Octavian will be responsible for access/egress at the two sites and will provide constant site patrols comprising both officers and dogs. The contract was won by a team led by Octavian Group managing director, Sukhi Ghuman, who says of the new contract: "One of my aims for this business has always been to seek out clients, which we can work successfully in partnership with, and I approached Prodrive as it is a business that exudes innovation and leadership, making it a perfect client for the Octavian portfolio."
"To many Prodrive is the last word in the motorsport arena - a company which works with all the best names in the industry, in both motorsport and the consumer side of the automotive industry. We will be proud to play our part in Prodrive's ongoing success story by safeguarding the UK technology hub that will be literally at the centre of the business' progression."
