Leading security firm Securicor Gray has been appointed to head up security
at Century City.
Securicor Gray is part of Securicor PLC, an international security solutions
business and one of the world's largest providers of security services
operating in approximately 50 countries.
Greg Deans, managing director of Century City Limited, the developers of the
250ha mixed use development, said the decision to outsource the security
operations to a specialist company with a dedicated management team would
further enhance security on site and provide a sustainable platform and
economies of scale into the future.
"The Securicor group has specialist experience in a wide spectrum of niche
markets and its security technology is at the leading edge in global terms.
As Century City has grown so has its security requirements and Securicor
Gray, drawing on its international experience, is able to offer us a diverse
basket of services."
Security at Century City was previously controlled by Tract Asset
Management, a subsidiary company of Century City Limited, with Securicor
Gray providing most of the contract services.
Deans said that the decision to close Tract Asset Management, which had been
formed to strategise the implementation of security services solutions at
Century City, and outsource the entire security operations had been taken in
consultation with the Century City Property Owners Association, under which
the security and other essential services for Century City fall.
He said that in adjudicating proposals they had placed emphasis on
minimizing the risk of disruptive change and as such have awarded a
nine-month contract to the incumbent contract party, Securicor Gray.
"Century City has a draft security charter in place and an established
methodology and there will be no deviation from our zero tolerance approach
to crime that has become synonymous with this development."
Deans said that in the months ahead, the Property Owners Association would
fully assess the security requirements of the development and, based on that
analysis, would conduct a formal tender process early in 2004.
He said the move would enable Century City Ltd to concentrate on its core
areas of business namely Ratanga Junction, land sales and property
development at Century City and residential property development and sales.
