WCCTV Moves to New Global HQ

26 Apr 2016

Wireless CCTV Ltd (WCCTV), a world-leading manufacturer and developer of redeployable CCTV, site security systems and body worn cameras, has officially moved to its new company HQ on Kingsway Business Park, Rochdale, Greater Manchester. The move follows several years of sustained growth both nationally and internationally.

The build, which represents a £2.5m investment for the Company, has seen a 12,000 square foot office, workshop and warehouse developed to facilitate growth as the workforce increases to meet worldwide demand. The Company’s employee numbers have grown from 19 in 2013 to 45 in 2015, with further growth anticipated.

WCCTV specialises in the transmission of live and recorded video, audio and alerts via mobile phone networks (4G, 3G, GPRS and Wi-Fi) to provide security and surveillance on a temporary, semi-permanent and long-term basis.

The Company’s key products include redeployable dome cameras, body worn cameras, remote site security systems and vehicle-based CCTV solutions. The Company will launch its new Live Transmission Body Worn Camera system at IFSEC 2016, the largest event for the security industry, taking place at the ExCel Exhibition Centre, London, 21-13 June.

The Company’s customer-focused products have been developed in conjunction with leading local authorities, housing associations, police forces, rail, utilities and construction companies, transportation agencies and commercial organisations.

WCCTV’s current customer base includes Network Rail, National Grid, The AA, national and international construction companies and over 70% of the UK’s local authorities and police forces. The Company’s products have been utilised at major public events including the 2012 London Olympic Games, the 2014 Commonwealth Games and the 2014 Tour De France.

In the previous 12 months, the Company has opened premises in Hemel Hempstead and launched a US operation based in Dallas, Texas. WCCTV has a burgeoning international distribution network – the Company recently announced partnerships for Canada and the Middle East alongside its established distribution network throughout mainland Europe and Asia.

In the US, WCCTV has achieved Verizon Wireless Partner Programme status which will significantly increase its reach, allowing the Company to expand in the US alongside its existing UK and Middle East growth plans.

WCCTV’s continued growth in its key sectors in the UK and abroad has seen the Company increase profits by over 300% over the last three years, with the Company forecasting pre-tax profits in excess of £1m for 2015/2016.

Speaking on the new build, WCCTV’s Managing Director David Gilbertson said “Building our own premises on Kingsway Business Park is a direct reflection of the Company’s numerous successes over the past decade, and is a testament to the hard work of all those who have contributed to our growth.”

“Moving to our own larger premises will provide the ideal platform to support rapid growth and allow further investment in product innovation and world-class customer service which are the hallmarks of WCCTV.”

Speaking on the choice of location, Mr Gilbertson added “It was important to consider the needs of our loyal and skilled employees, many of whom are from the local area.”

“We’d like to express our thanks to Rochdale Development Agency for all their support in helping us secure a spot on Kingsway Business Park.”

How Mobile CCTV Systems Secure Home Build Sites

Home build construction sites are often a magnet for security issues such as trespass, theft, vandalism and even arson.

While there are many ways to secure a sight, selecting the right mobile CCTV system can help to significantly reduce such issues.

The systems are often invaluable when consideration is given to the cost and time impact of replacing lost equipment, vehicles, and appliances, and the knock-on effect these have in terms of project delays.

Having supplied mobile CCTV systems to construction companies for over 20 years, WCCTV below explains how these systems help eradicate crime.

The Effects of Fly-Tipping

Fly-tipping is an increasingly widespread problem across the UK, affecting urban and rural locations. Cases increased exponentially during the pandemic but were already growing steadily due to the volume of waste we produce as a society.

In December 2021, Defra reported that local authorities dealt with just under 1.13 million fly-tipping incidents in 12 months, an increase of 16% from the 980,000 reported in 2020.

Local authorities have a mandatory responsibility of cleanup operations following a fly-tip due to the health risk and environmental dangers they pose, not to mention the unsightly blight they create.

Construction sites are a hazardous environment, one which the HSE ranks as the third most dangerous, so workforce safety is a significant risk that needs mitigating.

Parking Lot Surveillance Cameras: A Complete Guide

Whether you manage a commercial parking lot, vehicle storage facility or car dealership, it must be secured against criminal activity.

Parking lots are vulnerable areas for loitering and crimes, including theft, vandalism, carjackings, and violent assaults. In fact, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, more than 1 in 10 property crimes happen in parking lots and garages.

Parking lots attract criminals due to their seclusion and abundance of hiding spots. These criminals seek to steal property and target customers and employees as they travel to and from their cars.

Unfortunately, these criminals are conditioned to believe that parking lots are an easy target due to their lack of active security systems - and in too many cases, this is true.

Five Construction Materials in Short Supply and at Risk of Theft

A surge in demand coupled with global restrictions has significantly impacted the cost and availability of several key construction materials.

As the UK begins the process of re-opening following months of lockdowns, the construction industry is beginning to boom, with activity levels expanding at the fastest rate in six years.

This high demand and low availability, caused in part by COVID-19 and Brexit, has seen the price of some material costs increasing by 50%

With the ever-increasing value of these materials, construction sites are an even greater target for opportunist thieves.

With figures suggesting the industry loses over £800m per year due to theft, now is the time for construction companies to invest in proactive electronic security systems.
