A SECURITY company based in Huddersfield was commended for its professionalism during a royal visit to West Yorkshire.
Edgerton-based Jayfort Security Services Ltd was praised by royal protection officers from Special Branch for its contribution to ensuring the safety of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh during a visit to Salt Mill at Bradford.
The royal visitors attended a lunch for Yorkshire business leaders at the staff restaurant of set-top box maker Pace PLC.
The visit was part of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee tour of the UK. Those attending included the Lord Lieutenant of West Yorkshire, Salts Mill chairman Maggie Silver, the Lord Mayor of Bradford and Pace PLC non-executive chairman Allan Leighton.
Graham Barker, group facilities manager of Pace PLC, said: “The overall day went very smoothly and the seven people from Jayfort played a big part in that. He said Jayfort received “positive comments from the police staff that follow the Queen around and that was well-deserved.”
Jayfort has held responsibility for security at Salt Mill since Mrs Silver’s husband Jonathan bought it in 1987.
