G4S, working at the Olympic Park
Since 2008, G4s has been responsible for securing the development of the Olympic park site in Stratford, East London, as it transforms majestically into a premier venue in the run-up to the 30th Olympiad, the world’s largest sporting event. For these services, G4S’s contract is with the Olympic delivery authority (ODA), which is building the Olympic park. “We now have over 600 full-time G4S employees working on the ODA contract,” says John Whitwam, a managing director in the G4S Secure Solutions (UK) business, who has been responsible for that contract from the outset. “this is a unique project in the UK,” he adds, “and it includes almost all of G4S’s capabilities, so my team undertake cash collections, we provide risk management consultancy, we patrol using vehicles and boats, we control access to the pass office, and we conduct searching and screening, having received special training from our aviation & ports businesses. “it’s hard to imagine a contract with more stakeholders. I believe our success with the LOCOG bid is in no small part due to the experience and expertise we have built up in the G4S ODA team, most of whom have been recruited from the host boroughs and include 15 nationalities.”
Once the Olympic park has been built, the ODA will hand it over to LOCOG, the body responsible for running the Olympic and Paralympic Games. “We will continue to provide all the security support services for the Olympic park throughout the Games,” John Whitwam explains, “and be a part of what LOCOG does. at the end of the Games, when the Olympic park is handed back to the ODA, we will continue to provide security during the period when the perimeter is dismantled and the site is converted into a sports park for the benefit of the community.”
Under the nationwide LOCOG contract, G4S UK has now been given responsibility for recruiting, training and managing a huge security workforce that will be tasked with securing the Games, alongside colleagues from the police and local authorities across more than 130 London 2012 competition and noncompetition venues. to achieve that goal, G4S, which currently employs 50,000 people in the UK, and locoG are collaborating with the Bridging the Gap scheme established by the British Security industry association, the Security industry authority, Skills for Security and north Hertfordshire college to identify talented people from over 90 further education colleges across the UK. the initiative is set to bring thousands of new recruits into the security industry as well as providing a formal qualification for students from across the UK. this will lead to a guaranteed job interview with G4S to help supplement their security provision at Games time. the students will make up a significant proportion of G4S’s London 2012 security workforce.
