Spotlight on Emergency Lighting as Advanced Appoints New Business Manager
15 Jan 2020
Global
fire and life safety company, Advanced, has appointed a new business manager to
support the growth of its emergency lighting business.
Matt
Jones joins Advanced from his role as product manager at Apollo Fire Detectors.
In his new role, Matt will leverage Advanced’s strong reputation in the fire
industry to tap into new emergency lighting markets and grow the LuxIntelligent
and EasySafe brands.
LuxIntelligent
is an addressable automatic test system that examines all emergency lighting to
check it is compliant and functioning or, in the event of a failure, provides
accurate maintenance guidance without the need for manual intervention. The
system can be integrated with almost any type of light, offers a host of unique
technical features and proves compliance with BS 5266. EasySafe is a new range
of addressable, low-voltage emergency luminaires and exit signs that work with
LuxIntelligent control panels and can be installed and maintained without the
need for a qualified electrician.
Matt
said: “In the fire industry, Advanced is synonymous with performance, quality
and ease of use, a reputation I want to mirror across our emergency lighting portfolio.
We have a strong presence in the UK with plenty of growth potential, but we
also aim to maximise the opportunity to expand globally as we have done with
our fire products.”
Pete
Browitt, Managing Director at Advanced, said: “We’re introducing further innovative
products to our emergency lighting product line, the imminent launch of our
EasySafe low voltage emergency lights will establish us as the only
manufacturer to enable the use of both low and high voltage lights on the same
loop. The addition of Matt to the team means we are now in a strong position to
be able to drive our solution forward in key markets.”
Advanced
serves around 80 countries from bases in the UK and around the world and, in
2018, consolidated its operations to one, 48,000 sq ft base in Newcastle Upon
Tyne to meet growing domestic and international demand for its products.
Advanced,
owned by FTSE 100 company Halma PLC, has its emergency lighting solutions
installed in a number of high-profile sites across the UK, from Cambridge
University to Knightsbridge’s Berkeley Hotel.
Halma
is a global group of life-saving technology companies with a clear purpose to
grow a safer, cleaner, healthier future for everyone, every day.
Advanced
is a world leader in the development and manufacture of intelligent fire
systems. Advanced’s reputation for performance, quality and ease of use see its
products specified in locations around the world, from single-panel
installations to large, multi-site networks. Advanced’s products include
complete fire detection systems, multiprotocol fire panels, extinguishing
control, fire paging and false alarm management systems.
