Contract Win
21 April 2006
Look CCTV, the mobile CCTV division of Quadnetics Group plc, has signed a
contract with Stagecoach who have released the following announcement of the
deal.
"Stagecoach has signed the UK's largest single order for CCTV in buses in the
UK.
The £1.2million deal will ensure all new buses ordered by Stagecoach in 2006-07
will be fitted with state-of-the-art digital CCTV systems from Look CCTV.
Stagecoach is spending £50million on a fleet of 460 new buses over the next
year. The fleet of new vehicles will be delivered between April 2006 and the end
of February 2007.
Les Warneford, Managing Director of Stagecoach UK Bus, said: "This latest
investment is part of our ongoing commitment to the safety and security of our
passengers and our drivers.
"Buses are the country's most popular form of public transport and crime on
buses is extremely low. However, even the fear of crime can act as a deterrent
to travel. CCTV has a proven track record of making passengers feel safe,
cutting crime and anti-social behaviour and helping track down offenders."
Andrew Prince, Managing Director, Look CCTV, said: "Stagecoach and Look CCTV
have enjoyed a long and productive relationship over a number of years. Their
decision to award us this largest ever contract for CCTV is recognition of our
ability to deliver cutting-edge CCTV systems and support services."
Look CCTV has supplied CCTV systems to the Stagecoach bus fleet in London and in
selected locations across the UK since 2002."
