The Solution
Procter Contracts have worked closely with Willmott Dixon teams across the UK to deliver effective perimeter security solutions across a range of sectors, solutions and project sizes.
We value and take pride in our people, our partnerships and our customers and believe that together we will deliver exceptional work and build long lasting relationships. We take ownership and are trusted and driven to achieve the outcomes our clients want.
We are committed to deliver innovative solutions and confidence to our customers and in the last two years alone this work has included just some of the following projects:
iAero Innovation Centre, Yeovil
The purpose-built iAero (Yeovil) Centre is a high-value technology innovation hub for prototyping and testing the next generation of helicopters and other rotorcraft, one of very few such buildings in the world.
Most notably, we installed a’Crash Gate’ that measured over 16m wide. The double leaf frangible gate is designed to be driven through even if closed, without major damage to rescue vehicles allowing prompt intervention. We also installed an extensive range of Security Fencing, Barriers and Bin Stores.

Procter worked with Wilmott Dixon on this new 420-place primary and nursery primary school as part of North Somerset County Council’s £40 million investment. The building consists of 14 modern classrooms, as well as a multi-use games area, main hall, hard and soft informal play areas and a habitat area.

The multi-million pound project included the refurbishment of 80,000 square feet of space at 62-66 Highbury Grove in Islington, creating a new sixth form school with specialist areas including editing suites and music and performance spaces.
Procter designed, manufactured and installed a range of bespoke automated gates for the project.

This project showcased our ability to be a “single-source for perimeter security solutions” as we delivered a range of security rated gates, perimeter security fencing, as well as eco-friendly and aesthetically pleasing timer and acoustic fencing.
