Peel Media today announced that the UK’s leading security company, G4S Secure Solutions (UK) (G4S) has been awarded the security contract for MediaCityUK after a competitive four way pitch.

G4S, who have been involved in the project since construction began at Salford Quays in 2007, will have around sixty staff contracted to work on the £600million Peel Media development from 2011.

They will be recruiting high-calibre, customer-focused security personnel to work on the 36 acre site, which includes a new home for BBC North, a new campus for the University of Salford, 378 apartments, a new 218-bed hotel, an outdoor piazza twice the size of Trafalgar Square and the most modern new studio facilities in Europe.

Tony Chebrika, Head of Security for Peel Media said: “MediaCityUK is an unprecedented development and the diversity of opportunities available to security personnel will be extremely rewarding. We look forward to strengthening our relationship with G4S and building a first class team as MediaCityUK starts to come to life”.

Our customer focused team will be a valuable addition to this exciting complex and will play a key role in keeping the local community safe and secure. We look forward to supporting the development of MediaCityUK and cementing our working relationship with the Peel Group.”
