Security services provider Westminster Group has secured a contract that will see it help protect the historic Royal Palace and Fortress of the Tower of London.

Westminster said on Monday that the security of such a landmark building, which is open to the public, was "paramount", with the firm being contracted to provide professional security services to the pedestrian and vehicular entrances.

The AIM-listed firm also stated that any further details on the scope of the contract would remain confidential.

Chief executive Peter Fowler said: "I am delighted our services division has been awarded this important new contract to protect what is one of England's most prestigious buildings.

"Following other significant contract wins such as the Palace of Westminster, home of the UK Parliament, and recent long-term multi-million-dollar contract wins in Central and West Africa, this latest contract award demonstrates we have the reputation, skills and resources to secure and deliver high profile contracts around the world."

As of 0910 BST, Westminster shares were up 4.48% at 6.06p.
