Coronavirus: Important Announcement

NewsdeskLatest News Leave a Comment

In light of the Government’s recent announcements, we have taken the difficult (but what we feel is the right) decision to pause production of non-essential items to allow ALL our staff to stay at home. In this way, we are putting the health and safety of our people before our profit. In preparation, as per our previous update, we have …

Coronavirus Update From SEP

NewsdeskLatest News Leave a Comment

We think we were one of the first to publish our contingency plans on 9th March – it seems so long ago now, and so much has happened in that short time. Things have been, are, and will continue to move very rapidly…and we are all hoping that the peak of new cases and deaths also approaches (and more importantly passes) …

In the light of ongoing concerns across the globe and questions from some of our key customers, we thought it would be helpful for us to lay out our current plans to mitigate foreseeable impacts from the spread of COVID-19.

Recent Fire Sprinkler Saves

Every so often we find it useful to consolidate some information on recent fire sprinkler saves, and maybe some instances where someone was not so lucky. We haven’t done this for a while, so please see below: One of our customers, J&J, recently completed a residential installation in Colchester, and already this has prevented the spread of a chip pan fire after the activation …

Sale? Where?

NewsdeskLatest News Leave a Comment

As the more eagle eyed amongst you may have noticed, some of our SEP logos have subtly changed, and this will be feeding throughout our branding over the coming months. After some consideration, we have decided that the time has come to ‘streamline’ our name – which doesn’t actually say anything about what we do, and just causes confusion about where we are. The ‘Sale Engineering …

Reluctant Price Increases

NewsdeskLatest News Leave a Comment

Despite three years’ ongoing and in some cases very high prices increases from component suppliers, we have managed to keep most of our own prices flat and have not imposed a cross-board price change since 2017.

NewsdeskLatest News Leave a Comment

On the afternoon of Friday 6th December one of our Slovakian employees received a phone call from their parents to say that there had been an explosion in a high-rise residential building in Prešov, Slovakia. We have two employees who are Slovakian, and it looked like the block of flats in question was where our supervisor’s brother lives…more worryingly, he …
