International Sales and Marketing Director Justin Williams said: “This extension of our Secured by Design range is a significant milestone for us and it’s a reflection of the hard work put in by our team. Certification is led by Lyn Jones and Dai Carnell of our Certification & Engineering Department but we also need to thank our Technical, Manufacturing Operations, Purchasing, Sales, Processing and IT departments who support them throughout the process.

Secured by Design (SBD) is the national police crime prevention initiative. For the last 30 years it has prevented and reduced crime in the built environment by establishing a security standard to improve the physical security of new buildings and implementing proven crime prevention techniques into the immediate surrounding area. More than one million homes have been built to SBD standards with reductions in crime of up to 87%. SBD is managed by Police Crime Prevention Initiatives (PCPI), which runs a wide range of crime prevention initiatives and activities on behalf of the Police Service throughout the UK.
