Corps Security has been appointed as the new security provider for The National Archives, the UK government’s official archive and publisher, which holds one of the largest and most significant collections in the world.
The new partnership sees 12 new colleagues joining Corps Security. These dedicated professionals will be responsible for all security services across The National Archives’ Kew site, a public-facing, high-profile environment that combines heritage, education, and operational excellence.
The National Archives is home to over 1,000 years of iconic records, ranging from the Domesday Book to modern government documents. The site is not only an archival facility but also a busy destination for researchers, students, and visitors from across the globe.
Corps will deliver a tailored solution that balances robust protection with a strong customer-service ethos, reflecting the diverse user base of the Kew site. The service delivery will be underpinned by Corps’ commitment to social value, staff wellbeing, and inclusive recruitment, while embracing innovation in security operations.
Andy Topp, sales & marketing director at Corps Security, said: “We are delighted to partner with The National Archives to help protect the nation’s historical memories. This contract reflects our deep experience in working within the government and heritage sectors, which comprises some of the UK’s most treasured institutions, and our commitment to delivering professional, welcoming, and vigilant security services in distinctive locations across the UK.”
Mark Newman, head of estates and facilities at The National Archives, said: “We are looking forward to working with Corps Security and to building on and developing further our already excellent security services.”
