On Sunday 11th May the Prime Minister announced a partial easing of the Covid-19 lockdown in order to start revitalising the economy… subject to measures necessary to keep the population as safe as possible. Like all companies re-opening after the Covid-19 lockdown (or increasing staffing, as we have at no point been closed, due to ongoing customer demand) we are …

Rob, our MD, has been managing customer demand, staffing and furlough rotations throughout the Covid-19 lockdown. He thought it might be interesting to ask our non-British employees (Milan, our Workshop Supervisor, and his partner Katarina) to write something about how they’ve been managing away from their families and home country during this strange and worrying period. The rest of this …

Since we’ve had a bit more ‘working from home and thinking’ time, we’ve been doing lots of work in the background including redesigning the downloads section of our website. With so many datasheets, instruction manuals and other information to share, it was getting difficult to keep track of everything and we know some customers were struggling to find exactly what …

A number of months ago, we reported that the English Government was launching a ‘Building a Safer Future’ consultation on improving fire safety in high rise buildings.  We’re pleased to be able to share the progress that has now been made. Earlier in the month (April 2020), the Government released more information about a proposed Fire Safety Bill, which would …

During current events, and despite our announcements, a number of customers have asked if we are still open, and what stock we have – so we thought an update would be helpful. We are continuing to meet all of our customers’ needs, and to the outside world our presence and service continues to be seamless. To minimise the risk to …

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 …

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. Obviously, at this stage, no-one knows quite what is going to happen and – although we have not (yet!) witnessed …

We have available several different models of air maintenance device, all designed to allow the fine control of air pressure from compressors complete with air receiver. We will shortly be updating our unique INTEGRATED air maintenance device, following ongoing testing under different situations. However, in the meantime, and following several recent orders for our STANDARD air maintenance device, we have re-designed …

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 …
