Supplier of the chic personal safety alarms found on the shelves of top retailers such as M&S and Next, ila Security, has floated itself on the AIM stock market, since the 5th of March. Ila is going public with a market value of £4.7 million after a £3 million all-equity reverse takeover by Aim-listed Baylon Holdings. The company predicts an exciting future with the launch of its five new innovative and stylish prod- ucts, so watch out for the ila Wedge Door Alarm and ila Leash for safety when out with the dog. The ila DUSK is an innova- tive personal security alarm that emits a piercing female shriek when activated to help women protect themselves from as- sault. It has been a great month for this small British firm as the ila DUSK was also selected to be included in a gift bag given to non-winning nominees in the major cate- gories at the Academy Awards, meaning the likes of Carey Mulligan, Helen Mirren and Meryl Streep could soon be donning one of these chic personal alarms. James Phillips, Sales Director of ila Security com- mented: “Being chosen to be included in these goody bags is a great endorsement that our mission to bring personal security to the front-line of style is working.”
