BRITON GETS NEW LOOK
Door control and exit hardware brand Briton, has renewed its brand identity in a way that highlights the brand’s heritage and reaffirms its promise to deliver quality and reliable solutions to customers under cohesive visuals.
Briton’s brand evolution marks over a century of providing safe and functional building environments with high-quality, highly engineered products, designed to endure constant use in demanding settings. Equipped with a fresh logo, modernised visuals and an updated website and support documentation, the new brand elements build upon Briton’s focused traditions of being a trusted adviser and unify the brand’s product portfolio, while also adapting to better represent the needs of modern consumers.
Pete Hancox, country manager at Allegion UK, said: “Briton is one of the widely recognised door controls and exit hardware brands. For over a century, we’ve developed a well-earned reputation with our customers, and we’re proud to offer true peace of mind with dependable hardware solutions.
“The customer is central to our brand focus, so we’re placing a greater emphasis on making product selection and installation easier and clearer than it’s ever been before. Our new packaging, fitting instructions, data sheets and easy fit templates, deliver on our core values of trust, performance and convenience - helping ensure our customers remain with Briton for the next 100 years.”
Briton’s new identity will be phased in over the coming weeks, with all Briton products - including several new launches - shortly adopting new look packaging designed to reduce waste.
COMMUNITY SERVICE FROM FROM BURG-WÄCHTER UK
A community centre in the West Midlands is benefiting from Burg-Wächter UK's 'Secure Communities Scheme'. The security specialist swung into action upon hearing about the need for Pelsall Community Centre to safeguard the people using it and stage equipment housed inside it, underlined by uninvited youngsters nuisance tripping fire alarms at the premises. Burg-Wächter donated one of its wired camera kits, and now the community centre's committee is confident about the security of the property entrusted to its care. Committee member and Trustee, Arthur Roberts, said: “We have served the local community since 1965, and over the years our security needs have become greater. We had in place external cameras covering our doors, outdoor space and car park, however in today's climate we needed to give our users greater security through the use of internal cameras. We wanted something that would work around the clock with video recording to enable people to feel more secure. We needed to be able to offer a space for locals to be able to enjoy education, sport, socialising, entertainment, family celebrations and so forth without having to think twice about their security. Burg-Wächter's donation has helped us achieve this, and we're very impressed that a commercial organisation would do such a thing free of charge.
“It was easy to apply for the equipment. We went onto the Burg-Wächter website and followed the link to its Secure Communities Scheme. Then all that was needed was to direct some details to an email address given there. I'm really glad we did!”
Burg-Wächter's Secure Communities Scheme gives regional community leaders and volunteers the chance to win a security kit worth up to £200 for their organisation. Any regional initiative that is run by or supports the local community can apply.
Burg-Wächter launched the scheme in recognition of the fact that people around the country who are doing their bit for their community should not have to worry about the security of their premises, equipment or storage areas. The company's Secure Communities Scheme is its way of saying thank you to community leaders for supporting people in their area.
