Gangland security firm guards £100m hospital

Jun 8 2008 By David Taylor

ONE of Scotland's most notorious security firms has won a new contract - to guard a £100million hospital site.

Gangland firm M&M Security is also branching out by serving tea and biscuits to the builders at the new Stobhill Hospital in Glasgow.

The project, funded by public money, is being built by contractor Balfour Beatty.

A site worker said: "It's bizarre but it will be a brave man who complains his roll and sausage is cold." M&M's initials represent the names of the founders - convicted murderer Paul McGovern, 34, and George Madden, 47. But the firm's frontman John Fox once boasted they stood for Murder and Mayhem.

Balfour Beatty said: "M&M were appointed following our standard process." So that is all right, then.
