$665,000 Contract Award - Fever Screening & Sanitiser Stations

Westminster Group Plc (AIM: WSG), a leading supplier of managed services and technology-based security solutions worldwide, is pleased to announce that its Technology Division has been contracted to provide a leading g lobal investment management corporation with a range of fever screening and safety equipment for deployment to its worldwide offices as part of its 'Return to Work' programme.

The contract, valued at c.$665,000 USD, includes the provision of a range of fever screening systems covering different applications together with sanitisation stations to 85 offices in 37 countries around the world. We expect to complete this order within the next few weeks.

Commenting on the contract award Westminster's Chief Executive Officer, Peter Fowler, said:

"Westminster is a trusted brand in the provision of fever screening and associated equipment, having been supplying such equipment for many years. Since the COVID-19 outbreak we have seen a significant increase in demand for our services and have been assisting companies and organisations around the world with their screening and safety requirements. This is all the more likely now as countries around the world begin to ease restrictions and businesses and organisations look to put measures in place to enable a safe return to work.

"I am delighted therefore that Westminster has been selected to provide screening and sanitisation solutions to one of the world's leading investment management companies, which is a testament to Westminster's global reach.

"The coordinated logistics of delivering the equipment to 85 offices in 37 countries presents an interesting challenge and I am impressed with how our team has risen to the task.

"Whilst fever screening and associated equipment is just one facet of Westminster's worldwide security and safety business, we believe demand for these services will continue for some time and represents a real opportunity for our business in today's 'New Normal'."
