Corps Security has won a three-year contract for the provision of security services at Michelin’s factory in Stoke-on-Trent.
Michelin is a global leader in tyre manufacturing for aircrafts, automobiles, bicycles and motorsports. Thousands of tyres are produced and held at its facility in Staffordshire.
Corps Security will provide guarding services, including a vehicle for site patrols, front-of-house customer service, and visitor management for Michelin’s manufacturing and storage facility. Given the nature of the materials and volumes involved, the site presents significant fire risk considerations and requires robust emergency procedures and health and safety protocols. Corps Security will also provide ongoing consultancy through Corps Intel, the organisation’s intelligence and specialist risk management consultancy. This will include threat and vulnerability assessments.
The contract will see a team of nine security professionals TUPE over to Corps Security, led by a site supervisor.
Dale Johnson, Regional Director of Corps Security, said: “We’re proud to welcome Michelin to our growing portfolio across the West Midlands, as part of our broader growth strategy in the region. This contract award highlights our expertise in delivering robust security solutions in complex industrial environments. We look forward to building a strong and successful partnership with such a globally respected organisation.”
Carl Forster, Buyer for – UK & Nordics at Michelin, commented: “We operate a complex site that requires a highly resilient security provider, and Corps Security’s strong presence in the region and experience in our industry made them the right choice. We were also impressed by their status as a social enterprise, demonstrating the value they place on supporting their colleagues.”
FMJ and Watco Webinar: Meeting compliance in a new culture of accountability
From January 2026, the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) formally separated from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Created under the Building Safety Act 2022 in response to the Grenfell Tower tragedy, the BSR is designed to raise safety standards across the built environment and introduce a stronger culture of accountability, transparency, and proactive risk management.
This shift places facilities managers in a more strategic safety assurance role – far beyond routine maintenance.
FMJ and Watco are hosting a webinar on 22 April at 11:00am to explore what this new regulatory landscape means for FMs. To register for the webinar click here.
