Since 2006, Hethel Engineering Centre, in Norfolk, has developed and grown more than 70 start-up businesses. The site provides incubation space and business support for companies. Recently 16 new offices and workshop spaces have been built.
The centre’s tenants use the workshops to store equipment and machinery to make everything from road car simulators to software for the lighting industry. JPJ Installations Limited of Braintree, Essex, an approved Kawneer fabricator, integrated Sentinel M panic locks within Kawneer door sets
Accessories, including panic exit devices, supports the Sentinel M range, from Adams Rite, part of ASSA ABLOY Security Solutions, a division of ASSA ABLOY . The range aids specifers in meeting the latest industry standards; all panic locks are CE marked and tested to EN 1125 with additional hardware, allowing building users safe and speedy escape, without prior knowledge of the device.
Lee Sharp, Contracts Manager at JPJ Installations Ltd, said: “According to the BBC, recent research has shown that, manufacturers experience the highest levels of theft of physical assets, compared to other sectors. So it was crucial that we invested in a lock that could resist the latest methods of attack, whilst balancing the safety of occupants, allowing them to escape quickly and with ease in case of an emergency. Adams Rite offered the perfect solution for us, we are really pleased that we offer the first Kawneer doorsets to integrate Sentinel M.”
And Richard Lawes, Sales Manager at ASSA ABLOY Security Solutions, said: “Hethel Engineering Centre revolves around unearthing innovative companies, so I think it is quite apt that one of Adams Rite’s newest, most innovative products was installed on the project; In fact this is the first time Sentinel M has been fitted in the UK.”
