Kingdom shortlisted for top Customer Care Initiative Award
Kingdom is very excited to have been named as a finalist for the Security & Fire Excellence Awards 2016.
The awards ceremony will be held on Wednesday 23rd November 2016 at London Hilton on Park Lane. It is attended by what is described on the awards website as “around 1,000 of the industry’s foremost practitioners … to recognise and honour the magnificent achievements of their peers, at the sell-out event”. It will be hosted by comedian Jimmy Carr who also previously hosted the 2015 event and is back this year by popular demand.
This will be the 18th year that the event has been held, and the awards are described on their website as “having consistently broken new ground in highlighting the very best people, projects and processes that the security and fire sectors have to offer.” It is a fantastic networking event that also helps to raise funds for charities. Entry levels are up 17% on last year’s record number, so as the awards website says, “being a finalist this year is a better achievement that ever before!”
We have been named as a finalist in the “Customer Care Initiative of the Year” category for the services we provide to Drax Power Station in Selby, North Yorkshire. Drax is the largest power station in the UK and typically provides some 7-8% of the UK’s electricity. As well as being an important strategic asset nationally, it is also vital to the local economy, with some 830 people working at the power station. We have been providing a comprehensive high risk security service to Drax since February 2011. Their security package includes guarding service, CCTV suite and operators, and mobile team. We recently won a new five year contract (with an option for an extra two years) to continue providing security services to Drax.
