On the Ball for Business
Business Buddy company Key Security UK Ltd has secured a major contract with Wakefield Trinity Wildcats.
The initial contact was made at a Business Buddy lunch hosted at the Belle Vue stadium, when Key Security's managing director Kieran Montgomery approached the wildcat's head of corporate relations, Graham Easby.
Following further meetings with members of the board, Key Security was awarded the contract to provide full stewarding and security on match days; car park security; response units; out of hours stadium protection and lockdown services.
Kieran commented: "This is a great opportunity to work with a local team and an organisation which also supports the Hospice through the Business Buddy scheme."
Graham Easby added: "We see this as the start of a long-term business association with Key Security and we are pleased to have made the contact at the Business Buddy event which we hosted."

Attending our regular Business Buddy networking meetings has paid off for two of our supporters.
Glen Renton, Account Manager with Ben Johnson Ltd, and Debbie Melton, Director of Red Media (Europe) Ltd met on a number of occasions at the events and the two companies are now doing business together. Red Media produces business stationery, price lists and promotional items for Ben Johnson and the arrangement is working well for both parties.
Debbie Melton comments: "Making business contacts through the Hospice Business Buddy network of supporters is a great way of getting to know other companies on a face-to-face basis and we are delighted to be working with Ben Johnson Ltd."
Glen Renton added, "We are happy to support the Hospice and attending the networking events has proved very useful in identifying Red Media as a new supplier for our company."
