Security, cleaning and environmental protection service provider Kingdom has announced that its contract with Drax Power Station in North Yorkshire has been extended for a further five years. 

According to a statement released today, Kingdom won the renewal at Drax, the UK’s largest power station, after “a challenging tender process”. 

The firm has been providing security to Drax Power Station since 2011, with guarding, CCTV and mobile services. 

Martin Sloan, group head of security at Drax Power, said he was not surprised that Kingdom was successful in extending its contract. He added that the renewal has delivered “additional stability and helped to reinvigorate the entire team”.

According to the company’s statement, its personnel at the site undertake a range of high-risk security services, such as protester management and business continuity planning.
