July 1, 2025

01 July 2025 – Kings Secure Technologies (KST), leading provider of specialist security, fire and life safety technology, is pleased to announce the extension of its prestigious contract with Post Office Ltd until 2029.

Post Office Ltd is a core part of the national infrastructure; it is essential that its network has the appropriate security controls in place to ensure that it is not affected by issues that could impact the service it provides to its customers, clients and the wider community. With an expansive estate of over 11,500 Post Office branches, 15 cash centre depots and 3 main admin offices, first class delivery and compliance is of the utmost importance.

The two organisations have built a trusted partnership over the years. KST has consistently reviewed its first class service, identifying opportunities to reduce cost and improve efficiencies in areas where the benefit could be reinvested in significant savings for the client.

Bob Forsyth, Chief Executive Officer of KST, said: “We are delighted to announce the extension of our contract with Post Office Ltd and the continuation of our successful relationship. The team at KST prides itself on having provided exceptional and reliable critical security services to Post Office, keeping their Post Masters, assets, customers and clients secure through vigilance and proactive engagement.”

The Director of Property, Network Crime and Equipment at Post Office Ltd said of the extension: “The safety and security of our Post Masters, the public and our colleagues is top priority for Post Office Ltd. Under the extended contract, KST will continue to be responsible for the provision of Property Security, Grapevine and Business Support Services for our extensive portfolio. During the initial tendering process, we were impressed by the quality and competitive value offered by KST, and also by their understanding of our business and requirements. We are delighted to extend this contract with KST and look forward to further developing our trusted relationship.”

What our Customers say

We wanted a smart-looking, contactless approach to access control here at Little Dot. We love the Openpath solution proposed by KST; it’s sleek, simple to use and has excellent reporting features. What’s more, KST’s inhouse commissioning team remotely configured the software to meet our requirements - including who goes where and when, through which doors, the reporting we need and integration to our fire alarm system. Thanks to this we have saved the cost of two days labour on install!

IT Manager - Little Dot Studios

KST has once again exceeded all expectations with their outstanding service. Safety is our number one priority for both our Post Masters and customers, therefore we are always on the lookout for new technologies and new ideas. Morphean platforms, along with the installation and maintenance provided by KST, has been the perfect decision for us due to our existing knowledge of their excellent services and competitive prices.

The mobilisation was smooth with little involvement required from ourselves. Communication, in particular, has been extremely strong with regular meetings. Monthly management information has been circulated and Clipper are using the real time management information that KST have provided with their DYMENSiON software. We also have working action plans on each site focusing on improvements and change management. All in all I would be happy to recommend KST to any company looking at contract award; our experience has been very positive and I am happy to endorse them.

The whole process of mobilisation and onboarding to KST was conducted in an exceptional manner, from start to finish. The preparation for the move between City Plumbing Supplies and KST was comprehensive. Collaboration was very good. The days of transfer were event free and smooth - with no major issues. The branches’ onboarding onto the KST system during the 12 weeks following the mobilisation was completed fully with excellent communication sessions conducted on a weekly basis. We are now looking forward to a long and effective partnership with KST.

Security, Audit & Loss Prevention Manager - City Plumbing Supplies

We’ve been delighted with the partnership between ISS and KST and the approach to transferring the access control contract. The teams have gelled quickly to understand our estate and we’ve seen significant service improvements.

Andy Southern
Head of Security - Santander Bank

Everything from the initial engagement with Quidvis to meeting the Fire Risk assessor on site, to receiving all the reports back in the SLA timeframe was second to none. The communication throughout the whole process has been so easy and the working relationship does not stop there. We now have one central system where we can view reports, add relevant building certificates and policies. Colleagues can access this incredibly user-friendly system and navigate with ease. I have been informed by several colleagues how easy the portal is to use. Even those less tech savvy have been more than impressed.
