It is with great sadness and pride that we announce our involvement regarding the Royal Cortège that left Balmoral this morning. We are very grateful to our security partners Showsec for asking us to join them in an operation that could have been a logistical nightmare, but passed with no problems and this was helped in so many ways by the public of the North East of Scotland.

Thanks to our staff who started very very early today, some as early as 05:30, to make sure all was safe. This is the second time in two weeks we have worked on a Sunday that had a Royal connection and further details of the first event will follow after this very sad time has passed. We at Granite Elite once again send our deepest sympathies and thoughts to the Royal family.
