Case study: Covert Security Transport (CST) van

In the UK, the transportation of valuable goods such as cash, jewellery, precious metals and high-value electronics is typically managed by specialised companies in the Cash-in-Transit (CiT) and secure logistics sectors.

Our clients, including two of the UK’s key industry players, G4S and Securitas, required covert security transport vans that not only provide the highest level of security but also disguise the nature of the cargo to avoid attracting unwanted attention.

These vans must be equipped with advanced security features to protect against theft, attacks, and organised crime threats, whilst maintaining a discreet external appearance. Real-time GPS tracking and CCTV monitoring are also essential to ensure continuous oversight of the vehicles.
