From commercial properties to residential buildings, everyone is looking for a safer way to enter and exit a building. Recent events have highlighted the need for innovative access control solutions that reduce cross-infection, improve safety, and offer a seamless premises experience.

We’re now seeing more buildings being gradually reopened to occupants and, as a result, users are asking for the functionality of their access control systems to be extended.

As we enter the final negotiating phases of the UK’s withdrawal from EU membership, and the uncertainty around what any FTA is going to look like, business continuity, costs, and supply chains are front-of-mind for many leaders. Many are looking at local options to mitigate risk and secure output. This is something I feel passionate about and it’s a timely topic to discuss while we navigate the UK’s future outside of the EU.

The cloud is having a huge impact on the security industry, with end users now able to harness the power, flexibility and functionality it offers.
