The latest Government contract that seems a little suss… on 10:41 - Oct 22 with 544 views | Swansea_Blue | Very rough calc. If average security guard earns £30k per annum, say £40k with all on costs, then £1.5 bn pays for 75,000 security guards for 6 months. But then they'll be charging overheads on top, so let's halve that to about 37,500 security guards. G4S currently employs 25,000 people across the whole of its operations in the UK with a normal UK turnover of about £1.7bn. Me thinks that's more than enough to provide those services. |  |

This is all, entirely, above board, nothing to see here, move along now. |  |

All sounds very dodgy, but your calculation seems to have neglected the fact that a security guard isn't going to work 24hour shifts everyday for 6 months |  | |  |
