There is the custody bit as well for offices and custody so people dont get let out early and no lost paperwork

I know somebody who works there as a permie and they are going through some bad times at the moment. He thinks a lot of them are about to be made redundant

They're a pretty massive organisation encompassing all kinds of different businesses and sectors, so I think you might have to give more detail.
I worked for them as a permie in the NE a few years ago but doubt that has much in common with their other areas of work.
