Wireless CCTV Ltd (WCCTV) report a £1.1m funding package from HSBC UK. The Rochdale firm offers redeployable CCTV, site security, body-worn cameras and time lapse video services. It’ll use the money to buy more CCTV mobile towers (as used by building, motorway and railway firms) and body-worn cameras.
The company points to retail and emergency services use of its body-worn video. The firm expected to create ten full-time jobs and apprenticeships and boost turnover. James Thornhill, Finance Director at WCCTV, said: “We needed to reinforce our product offering to continue driving sales and the financial support we have received from HSBC has enabled us to do this. We have noticed a rise in the number of companies and organisations wanting to use our intelligent surveillance devices in a remote capacity so we needed to ensure the business’ stock supplies could meet this demand.” Jonathan Rutter, Corporate Relationship Director at HSBC UK, added: “The breadth and scope of WCCTV’s business is really quite staggering. From building and infrastructure construction companies to small, independent retailers and nationwide public service departments, WCCTV has a range of products and services that have the potential to reach all corners of a business. I hope HSBC’s support gives WCCTV the impetus to harness this diversity and continue its growth and expansion across the country.”
