Kingdom has been providing 24 hour manned guarding to their Invergordon site for the last year. Kingdom controls the entry and exit of the site, which includes issuing health & safety equipment and visitor passes, handling all deliveries, completing all paperwork, and ensuring all Balcas policies are followed. Kingdom has provided a level of service that has impressed the company over the last year, which has resulted in the contract being extended by another year with an option to extend for a further 12 months after that.
