Mitie expands hold baggage screening contract at Heathrow

Mitie has extended its partnership to provide hold baggage screening (HBS) and immigration presentation services at Heathrow terminals 1, 2, 3 and 4

Mitie, the FTSE 250 strategic outsourcer, has extended its partnership to provide hold baggage screening (HBS) and immigration presentation services at Heathrow terminals 1, 2, 3 and 4.

The contract is worth approximately £6m per annum, with Heathrow’s Terminal 2 being added to Mitie’s remit.

Over 300 staff will be working under Mitie’s total security management business, who was first awarded the contract for Terminal 3 in 1997. In 2011, Terminals 1 and 4 were added and a three year extension was given.

The immigration presentation services Mitie also delivers at Heathrow will contribute an additional £700k each year, and see 50 more specialist staff working on site.

Bob Forsyth, managing director of Mitie’s total security business, said:

“I’m delighted to have extended our close working relationship with the Heathrow AOC and its members. Our specialist aviation team goes from strength to strength in the sector. We look forward to working with our clients at Heathrow and its partners to ensure airline and airport safety in one of the busiest airports in Europe.”
