Shetland Tall Ships Ltd has appointed Granite Elite to provide security services for next summer’s four-day Tall Ships event in Lerwick.

Granite Elite managing director Craig Fraser said his company was seeking to expand its portfolio and was excited to be branching out into Shetland for the first time.

“We are ecstatic to be doing business with Lerwick Tall Ships and we’re looking forward to getting involved with the local community and helping make it a fantastic event,” he said.

“We’ll be coming into Shetland soon to do some training to get locals through their SIA qualification, with the aim of using a mixture of local staff and our contingency from the mainland.”
