While G4S has long been associated with high-profile and embarrassing headlines, the Olympics aside, these have not often negatively impacted on either the company’s financial performance, or its ability to secure new contracts. Following the screening of a recent BBC Panorama documentary highlighting a string of abuses in one of its Secure Training Centres (STCs), fresh calls were made in the House of Commons for the company to be banned from bidding on government contracts. This case study examines a string of controversies, both at home and abroad, the impact they have had on the company, its prospects of future work for the UK government, and how well insulated the company is from the potential loss of a lucrative client.
