As part of the contract, Mitie will provide bespoke training to all 230 Mitie Security Officers on site to ensure that they have the latest expertise on how to deliver security services for retail spaces. Officers will also receive ‘guest service training’, giving them the skills to be able to support members of the public and respond to any issues. This will play a key role in ensuring that customers have a positive experience at the shopping centres. Mitie and URW have also committed to putting sustainability at the heart of operations by using only zero emission electric vehicles to help cut carbon emissions from transport on site. In addition to this, all Mitie colleagues will be provided with sustainable uniforms that are recycled once they are no longer needed, and the contract will see the creation of a paperless office for the Mitie team. Technology will be embedded in the contract, with Mitie rolling out its Merlin 24/7 solution. Through this app, Mitie’s Security Officers at Westfield London and Westfield Stratford City will receive real time insights and updates to their mobile devices on relevant security issues. The updates will be supported by intelligence from security analysts both at Mitie’s Global Security Operations Centre (GSOC) and URW’s in house team. The system will also be used to share best practice and recommendations to the Security Officers on the ground. “We’re extremely excited to have started our partnership with Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield with this new contract to deliver security services for their shopping centres in London.
