The NBA is a government framework
for surface-mounted HVM products,
such as high-security gates, pedestrian
portals and barriers, which are designed
to prevent vehicle attacks on key
structures or crowded spaces. The NBA is
available to all public and private sector
organisations.

The NBA has been deployed at other important events including conferences for the Labour and Conservative
parties, UEFA Champions League Final, Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, Notting Hill Carnival,
Edinburgh Fringe Festival, MTV Music Awards at Wembley, Trafalgar Square U2 music event and Hyde Park Winter
Wonderland.

Hardstaff’s clients include police forces, National Counter Terrorism Police, security services, major event providers,
airport operators, construction firms, highway maintenance providers and a nuclear power station. The company’s
UK expertise has been recognised by securing similar frameworks in Europe, supplying barrier systems to the Dutch
Police and Government as part of a joint venture.

In recent years, Hardstaff Barriers has provided safety barriers at numerous prestigious events including
Wimbledon, London Marathon, Lords Cricket Ground and Trooping the Colour.

Hardstaff Barrier’s range of HVM products provide protection against vehicle as a weapon attacks, which have been
a factor in many terrorist incidents. As a result, HVM measures have significantly increased across London and the
rest of the UK over recent years.

Hardstaff has been granted Fit For Nuclear (F4N) status by the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC)
after demonstrating its commitment to working in the nuclear industry. The company also holds a Fleet Operator
Recognition Scheme (FORS) Gold standard, which is only awarded to exceptional fleet operators.

Niall Griffin, Hardstaff Secure General Manager, said: “Hardstaff Barriers has been involved in the deployment of
surface-mounted HVM since its inception.

“Our operatives’ experience, coupled with my own knowledge from time served as a Counter Terrorism Security
Co-ordinator, make our team as strong as the protection we can provide.”
