Summer show visitors will get the chance to test the latest hi-tech security equipment as specialists Security Wise Ltd take to the road.
Shropshire based Security Wise Ltd have invested in a state-of-the-art exhibition trailer which will showcase their products at events across four counties.
“This is a major investment designed to show people the advanced security systems now on the market, said Benn Jarvis, Security Manager.
“Visitors will be able to see close-up demonstrations of the latest intruder alarms, CCTV cameras, and computerised access controls. While many people now have a burglar alarm, there are now many hi-tech solutions available and we are constantly up-dating our knowledge and product list.
“It is the first time that we have committed to an extensive programme of outdoor events. We have chosen a varied programme from country fairs to a business showcase.
“Rural crime is a major issue with thefts of high value tractors rising and there has been recent focus on business crime, with insurers AXA placing Telford in the top 10 areas for business crime in both 2011 and 2013.”
