Wolverhampton security firm looks to secure future with new business

A WOLVERHAMPTON security firm is targeting further growth after securing a series of business wins in London.

Gunnebo UK has installed a new strong room at the Punjab National Bank’s newly expanded Southall branch.

The facility is the largest secure storage area in any of the bank’s UK premises and houses 2,400 safety deposit boxes.

Work is being carried out on a second strong room which is being re-enforced for added security. The work will see Gunnebo install a further 1,000 boxes.

During the past two years Gunnebo has installed secure storage areas at the bank’s branches in Birmingham and Ilford. The bank has seven branches across the UK in areas including Wolverhampton, East London and Leicester.

Steve Lockhart, Gunnebo key account manager, said: “There is a high demand among the local community for safe storage for valuable personal items and we are delighted to be able to help our clients meet this demand.”

Gunnebo UK’s managing director Paul Hutchinson said the firm specialised in bespoke security solutions and the firm was now targeting further business in the sector.

Onkarjeet Singh, Punjab National Bank’s Southall branch manager said: “Thanks to Gunnebo UK we can now offer an even better service to both existing and new customers with this excellent new secure facility, which we already have plans to expand.”
