(Sharecast News) - Security company Westminster Group has been awarded a contract to provide a mass entry screening solution to "a significant theatre and exhibition complex" in the North of England.
Westminster said on Friday that its technology division had scored the contract as part of the client's efforts to prepare for the UK's forthcoming Protect Duty legislation, which will set out standards to protect patrons and the general public from terrorist attacks when in crowded spaces.
The AIM-listed group stated its mass screening solutions were capable of addressing many safety issues by allowing for the screening of large numbers of people entering an event or venue without slowing the natural flow.
Chief executive Peter Fowler said: "Following our recent announcement of a similar sized contract award for an iconic building in the UK I am delighted our technology division has secured yet another prestigious contract as part of our drive to assist companies improve their security and prepare for the forthcoming Protect Duty legislation."
As of 0900 BST, Westminster shares were up 3.23% at 1.60p.
