Social enterprise security specialist Corps Security has been appointed to provide security services at Michelin’s factory in Stoke-on-Trent. The three-year contract will see a team of nine security professionals TUPE over to Corps Security, led by a site supervisor.
Corps Security will provide security guarding services, including a vehicle for site patrols, front-of-house customer service, and visitor management for Michelin’s manufacturing and storage facility. Given the nature of the materials and volumes involved, the site presents significant fire risk considerations and requires robust emergency procedures and health and safety protocols. Corps Security will also provide ongoing security consultancy through Corps Intel, the organisation’s intelligence and specialist risk management consultancy. This will include threat and vulnerability assessments.
Michelin is a global leader in tyre manufacturing for aircrafts, automobiles, bicycles and motorsports. Thousands of tyres are produced and held at its facility in Staffordshire.
Dale Johnson, Regional Director of Corps Security, said: “We’re proud to welcome Michelin to our growing portfolio across the West Midlands, as part of our broader growth strategy in the region. This contract award highlights our expertise in delivering robust security solutions in complex industrial environments. We look forward to building a strong and successful partnership with such a globally respected organisation.”
Carl Forster, Buyer for – UK & Nordics at Michelin, said: “We operate a complex site that requires a highly resilient security provider, and Corps Security’s strong presence in the region and experience in our industry made them the right choice. We were also impressed by their status as a social enterprise, demonstrating the value they place on supporting their colleagues.”
