TNT is a global transportation and distribution business, delivering time critical documents and parcels for its customers at the right time and the right place.
TNT wanted to work with a specialist security company – a market leader able to offer not just manpower but additional specialist security services when required to support their corporate security team. TNT also wanted to benefit from a supplier with a national footprint and the ability to cover sites from Scotland down to the South-West of England, but at the same time offer a local service to each depot manager.
We’ve worked with TNT since 2004 and continued to demonstrate a flexible approach to meeting their security needs. In 2007 the company was working with 23 security providers but has since consolidated to two suppliers – enabling them to manage the service more effectively and increase the consistency across their locations.
Why MITIE?
TNT has expanded its contract with MITIE thanks to our ability to continuously demonstrate high service performance across the current portfolio. A strong partnership between the customer and our local management team meant we are able to fully understand TNT’s operation and gain an important level of trust to meet each site’s requirements.
What’s more, we are able to provide short-term cover over busy seasonal periods. Site trained and licensed officers are used to offer additional support on an ad-hoc basis.
We offer TNT a single point of contact – saving the company valuable time and resource when it comes to managing their own resources. The partnership between TNT and MITIE is built on trust and promoted at every level thanks to a senior operations manager who oversees the entire contract.
The results
TNT benefits from peace of mind that over 30 of their sites are in safe hands around the clock.
Cost savings have been achieved through economies of scale and MITIE is in a position to change the service as and when TNT’s business needs change because we know exactly how the contract works.
Last minute requests for specialist services are met, saving resource and adding value to the partnership. To TNT’s advantage, we are able to offer unrivalled expertise when it comes to risk consultancy across the portfolio.

Having one point of contact really works for us and has helped MITIE introduce high calibre teams across the entire portfolio – people that have fully embraced the TNT culture and are clearly passionate about delivering a great service.
Throughout our partnership, MITIE has demonstrated their solid understanding of security operations from the outset. Their structured approach to contract mobilisation and TUPE procedures has resulted in happy teams across the country and security offices that feels supported.
The strong working synergy between MITIE and TNT promotes clear understanding of our business needs and MITIE has continuously impressed us with their ability to add value to the operation of this contract.
MITIE Security has developed an open and honest partnership with TNT, combining a commitment to provide excellent service levels with an innovative approach to the creation and development of a highly skilled and specialised security team.”
