Autographed Safe raises money for Thanet Hospice

This unusual fund raising opportunity came to us when BBC producers contacted us to hire a safe to be used in a sketch by Bob Mortimer & Vic Reeves in their cult TV show "Catterick" showing on BBC2.

In lieu of the hire fee we suggested Vic, Bob and the cast autograph the safe so we could auction and raise money for the Thanet Hospice. As well as Vic & Bob - best known for their quirky quiz "Shooting Stars" - Co-Stars Matt Lucas, Morwenna Banks & Mark Benton added their scrawls.

The producers came to us for the safe as we are well known in the area for our large selection of safes, new and reconditioned; they were filming in a hotel in Folkestone and were desperate for a particular style of safe which they had to have that very day.

Adam Wilton from The Language Centre now is the proud owner of this unique Chubb Safe and the Thanet Hospice has another £400 to add to their funds.

 

Awarded the first Centre of Excellence

Chubb Locks, leaders in high security solutions announced that they were launching a network of security specialist across the UK to provide the public with consistent, practical advice on securing their homes and properties up to British Standard.

We are pleased to announce that we have become the first Centre of Excellence in the UK; the award was made on Thursday 24th February to the Directors and Staff at Standfast Security by Tzachi Wiesenfield Managing Director of Assa Abloy, Matthew Dumsday Director & General Manager of Chubb Locks along with Jeremy Rose and his team from Chubb Locks.

As a Centre of Excellence we offer consumers a one stop solution for all their domestic security needs. We are a major retail outlet where the staff have undergone Criminal Registration Bureau checking, passed internal checks from Chubb Locks and have proven our ability to demonstrate a new standard of excellence in security.

Matthew Dumsday said: “There is a growing concern over domestic security issues, which have been highlighted by recent tragic and violent break-ins and despite the Government reviewing its policy on how homeowners can protect their properties, people are still evidently unclear on what they can and can’t do.

We hope that the launch of this specialist network will enable the end user to know exactly where to go to seek advice on protecting their homes and properties, from simply changing the locks on doors and windows to installing next generation state of the art intruder alarms”
