LONDON (Alliance News) - Westminster Group PLC, a security and services company, on Tuesday said its aviation division has begun cargo screening at Freetown International Airport in Sierra Leone, West Africa.
"The hard work put in by our security teams and, in particular, our cargo security manager, must be commended, particularly as much of this work was done during the Ebola crisis period," Chief Executive Peter Fowler said.
"With the end of the Ebola crisis, the resulting airlines returning, and increasing flight numbers, there is a demand for cargo services. Our investment in advanced cargo screening equipment, systems and personnel can now begin to bear fruit as this new cargo screening service represents an additional revenue stream for the company," Fowler added.
Shares in Westminster Group were up 11% at 19.40 pence on Tuesday morning.
