"I am particularly pleased to be able to announce this contract so early in 2011 which provides us with a very encouraging start to the new trading year and is an indication of the extensive potential we have been developing over the recent years.

 

"This is an important new governmental client to Westminster.  We are already discussing further security solutions that Westminster can provide, for which they have already expressed interest, and the potential for further business is considerable.

 

"This demonstrates our ability to secure several million dollar contracts and our ability to provide, in conjunction with our agents, a wide range of security solutions to governments and major corporations around the World. The size and scope of this contract will provide a valuable reference point for our agents in our target markets"
