Ellis secures China order
YORKSHIRE-BASED CABLE CLEAT manufacturer, Ellis, has turned the tables on the trend for cheaply manufactured products from the Far East being sold into the UK, by securing a significant order from China.
The company’s Emperor cleats have been specified by COSCO Engineering for installation on the Vantage Drilling Company’s new drill ship – the Dalian Developer. The order was secured as a result of
the company’s persuasive technical argument, which highlights the vital importance of correctly tested and specified cable cleats. Tony Conroy, export sales manager for Ellis, explained, ‘The growth in cheaply manufactured cleats has certainly muddied the picture in recent times, but we have always remained confident that our approach would eventually see our technically superior products come to the fore in China.’
SAMSUNG ANNOUNCES SMARTER SECURITY DAYS
SAMSUNG HAS ANNOUNCED that it will be hosting a series of Smarter Security Days throughout the UK during 2012. The Samsung Smarter Security Days are intended to give installers and system integrators a better understanding of the continuing transition from analogue to IP technology and the influence it is having on the marketplace. ‘Smarter Security is primarily about how customers can upgrade from an analogue system to an IP- and network-based solution in the smartest possible way for their businesses with the help of
Samsung,’ said Simon Shawley, general manager, UK and Ireland for Samsung Techwin Europe. A key objective of the Smarter Security Days is to take the mystery out of installing an IP and network solution and by doing so, demonstrate to customers that with the correct advice and guidance, they need not have any fear of embracing what is truly an exciting technology that offers so many benefits.

ESC calls for PART P involvement
THE ELECTRICAL SAFETY COUNCIL (ESC) IS URGING ALL interested parties to put their views across to the government regarding its public consultation on Part P of the Building Regulations, which covers electrical safety in dwellings. ‘We welcome the indication that the government is inclined to amend
Part P, rather than remove it,’ explained Phil Buckle, director general of the ESC. ‘However, we still have concerns regarding the extent and impact of proposed changes and we urge people to take part in this consultation.’ The consultation offers three options for Part P – leaving it unchanged,
revoking it, or revising it to reduce the costs and burdens it imposes. Buckle said: ‘There needs to be a balance between the public’s need to be confident in the standard of electrical work being carried out in their homes and the industry’s desire to avoid unnecessary red tape. To ensure this, we have worked with a range of stakeholders, from consumer bodies to industry groups. Our bottom line is that we need to reduce the complexities of Part P without compromising safety.’
