Westcountry Security wins regional installer of the year award
Plymouth-based electronic security installer,
Westcountry Security, has been awarded the Urmet Domus
‘Southern Region Installer of the Year Award’, announced
at IFSEC 2007. Westcounty Security is part of Chubb
Electronic Security, a leading security specialist.
Chubb Electronic Security is part of UTC Fire &
Security, a unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UTX).
The award, for installers of the Urmet Domus range of
audio and video entry products, recognises the quality
of workmanship carried out by companies installing the
Urmet Domus systems.
Westcountry Security won the prize in recognition of its
work at the Royal William Yard regeneration project in
Plymouth, which saw the conversion of two buildings
within the yard, originally built as a Victualling Yard
during the early part of the 19th Century and steeped in
naval history, to create 133 new apartments. As part of
the project, Westcountry Security installed the door
entry system for Brewhouse and Clarence House, using the
Urmet Digivoice digital system, to allow residents to
control who has access to the apartments.
The system includes an integrated call button at each
entrance panel to allow visitors to contact the
concierge, and has been configured to interface with a
proximity access control to six doors across the site.
Westcountry Security also commissioned the manufacture
of stainless steel posts to provide a robust and
aesthetically attractive housing for the K-Steel
polished stainless steel entrance panels, enabling
residents to call from the entrance panel whilst at the
same time being able to view the visitor from a TV
screen.
“This was a complex project with demanding standards,
and we had to take a methodical approach to ensure we
complied with the contractors requirements to stage the
handover of individual floors,” explained Paul Lawson,
Business Development Manager for Westcountry Security.
"The judging was carried out by an independent panel of
judges," said Mark Hagger, Urmet Domus's Sales Director.
"The judges told us that it was a major challenge
deciding who should be the winners as all the entries
this year were of a very high standard.”
The UK Installer of the Year was chosen from a short
list comprising three regional award winners. The
overall prize was awarded to Sutton and Birmingham based
JLG Security, while Manchester based Fibre Optics UK Ltd
received the award for the Northern Region. As winner of
the Southern region award, Westcountry Security received
a trophy and a cheque for £250 payable to a charity of
its choice, during a special presentation.

installation company in the South West, with over 18,000
