Eruma plc ('Eruma' or 'the Company')
First major contract win from Eruma and Pentagon alliance
Eruma plc, the AIM traded specialist provider of counter terrorism, intruder prevention and emergency lighting products and Pentagon Protection plc, the AIM traded specialist in the supply and installation of enhanced glass protection, have installed high-level security protection for one of the top five retail banking organisations in the UK with a contract award value of £60,000. This installation is the first major contract award won by Eruma and Pentagon since the recently announced formation of its business alliance formed to jointly develop business globally within the counter terrorism and environmental protection markets which are worth in excess of £30 billion per annum.
Eruma has supplied its Secur Security Blinds to all of the top five retail banks in the UK as well as many other commercial and public sector secure sites. Pentagon has also provided enhanced glass protection with the application of its glass containment window film and anchoring solutions for major banking organisations globally.
Eruma CEO Wayne Money said, "We are confident in selling Pentagon's range of enhanced glass protection products alongside our own Secur Security Blinds products to both new and existing customers and this contract award, gained so quickly after our alliance announcement demonstrates how well these two product propositions work together."
Pentagon Chairman, Haytham ElZayn also commented: "The formation of this alliance has enabled both Eruma and Pentagon to offer a wider spectrum of product propositions and combinations with increased collaboration opportunities globally to group clients both existing and potential."
