G4S Security Systems has been awarded a substantial contract at the home of “The Economist”
magazine. The contract involves a very clever adaption of existing technology
to provide an improvement to the existing access control system at its headquarters
location, whilst reducing substantially on-going maintenance costs.
About The Economist
The Economist is a weekly publication offering analysis and opinion,
each issue covering the main events—business and political—of the week. It is
written for an audience of senior business, political and financial decision-makers
who value The Economist for the accuracy of its incisive writing and lack of partisanship.
Founded in 1843, The Economist's worldwide readership has grown to 3 million and
includes some impressive names from among the world's opinion leaders.
"Our vision of the world, our style and our whole philosophy are different
from other publications. We are international and stress the links between politics
and business, we are irreverent and we are independent. At a time when business
is internationalising and when more and more countries are striving to join the
world economy, our approach is increasingly relevant and important."
- Bill Emmott, Editor
