Increasing Security Resilience with Value Engineered Solutions
It’s safe to say that 2020 has been an unusual year; the impact of COVID-19 has been felt around the world. Everyone has begun adapting to what is commonly called ‘the new norm’. Individuals, families, companies, organisations and even countries are having to change the way they operate, how they interact and how they travel. The impact on businesses has been massive, home working has become standard for many people. Some sectors have been devastated and very few have been left unaffected.

Evidently, traditional fire detection and suppression solutions are not up to scratch. Read more
