Within the Astron family, my primary focus is on the procurement of new business; which involves working closely with clients from an initial free consultation and site survey through to the final instalment process. Thereafter we concentrate on effective training and aftercare, to maximise the benefits of the chosen system.We pride ourselves on finding practical and affordable solutions to clients security challenges; whether that involves conforming to Fire Legislation or installing CCTV, Access Control or Intrusion Alarm Systems. We supply a wide range of quality products to suit all environments. We can also incorporate and upgrade existing equipment, providing the latest in technical support.Working closely with the technical crew, my role is to ensure effective management for all the projects, whether large scale multi-disciplinary installations, construction contracts with CDM regulations, or for the fire and security aspects of M&E contracts.It\'s a given that effective communication with other contractors or any tenants is essential and forms an integral part of our \'ad hoc\' involvement with housing associations and property managers. We also provide emergency remedial works and repairs with these partners, liaising at all times with all parties to best effect.
