NEWS NEW CHAIRMAN FOR DHF’S
AUTOMATED GATE GROUP Director of his family business, Security Access Systems, Martin Keelagher, has been named as the new Chairman of DHF’s (Door & Hardware Federation) ‘Automated Gate Group’. Martin’s new position was confirmed this month by DHF’s CEO, Bob Perry.
The Automated Gate Group was formed in 2009 in response to requests from the Health and Safety Executive. The government safety organisation sought an industry-wide trade body that would develop higher standards of safety
for automated gates, following a number of fatal accidents since 2007. The group represents manufacturers, suppliers, installers and maintainers of
automated gates, who demonstrate their credentials of quality, safety and adherence to the high technical standards required.
Martin has worked in the sector since 1997 and is a fierce advocate for health and safety across the industry. He said: “I have undertaken so many presentations on the importance of health and safety industry-wide, have attended all of DHF’s courses and continually try and educate clients on the importance of compliance and how to spot an unsafe product. So, when the opportunity arose to become more involved in spreading the message for greater safety and higher standards, I jumped at the chance!”
Bob Perry said: “We welcome Martin’s contribution as the new Chairman of the Automated Gate Group. Martin is a skilled and accomplished professional whose desire for increased safety across the sector is perfectly aligned with our own. We look forward to working successfully with him.”

50TH ANNIVERSARY FOR LABORATORY AIRFLOW CONTROL
PIONEER TEL, UK-based pioneer of the fume hood airflow controls and monitors critical to the respiratory protection of laboratory workers worldwide, this year celebrates its 50th anniversary.
Established in 1969 as a manufacturer of temperature controllers, the company began to produce airflow controls and monitors in the early 1990s, when electronic engineer Graham Eady joined as co-owner.
At that time, laboratory workers only had basic pressure monitors for protection – if any protection at all. A new British health and safety standard, BS7258, was introduced in 1994 to safeguard their health, and Graham spotted a gap in the market for protective equipment.
Beginning with the launch of the first airflow monitor, the AFA2A, TEL embarked on a journey to become a specialist in the manufacture of airflow controls and monitors, its products used in hundreds of thousands of laboratories globally.
As environmental sustainability grew in importance throughout all sectors of the economy, TEL’s products, designed to deliver energy savings, won the loyalty of fume cupboard manufacturers, contractors and users across the world.
After Graham assumed sole ownership of the company in 1989, he was joined in 2002/3 by his sons Andrew and Richard, both also electronic engineers, who went on to become directors of the company.

Now based in Glossop, Derbyshire, and with an international supplier network spanning Europe, the US, Africa and Asia, TEL has worked on a number of laboratory projects that have been recognised in leading sustainability awards, such as the Green Gown and S-Lab initiatives.
Richard Eady said: “That TEL has achieved its 50th anniversary in such robust health is testament to a combination of factors. The firm is an expert in the field of sustainable airflow controls and monitors, and provides customers with a remarkable level of customer service – a factor that is, I think, partly attributable to its status as a family firm.”
Graham, now retired, said: “I am extremely proud of TEL. Proud of its pioneering role in the respiratory protection of laboratory workers, proud of its commercial success and of course, proud of its longevity.”
TEL provides a full-service offer, including product and laboratory design consultation, product supply and installation, training and technical backup.
