Soldiers’ security firm keeps key contract

Croma, the Dumfries security firm run by former members of the Black Watch, has renewed a “major contract” with a London property manager worth more than £10 million.

It said the new agreement is valued at £3.4m a year, and will run for three years.

Chairman Sebastian Morley said: “We are very pleased with this major contract renewal won in hard competition. This is the group’s most significant contract.

“The performance of the group over the course of the original contract was the deciding factor in renewing this business. We see this as testimony to our premium offering, based around ex military personnel and organisation which we believe sets us apart from our competition.”
