The BIGGER picture
Here’s the deal, everyone wants value
for money and in our current climate
this is on everyone’s mind...
Recently I had a chat with a friend of mine
about a vehicle repairer who is, shall we
say, careful with cash. The vehicle repairer
skilfully uses the sanding pad until it’s so
thin you can see through it, overlooking
the fact that the sanding is taking 3 times
as long meaning that the £30 of additional
labour outweighs the 0.45p pad by 66:1.
If he took a step back and looked at the
BIGGER picture then he would see how
much he is wasting.
This happens subconsciously on an almost
daily basis in nearly every organisation.
You might not be aware of what is going
on right under your nose. My suggestion is
to seek advice from those
who you trust, but who
will also deliver the bad
news too.

2. Top Tips - Cut out & keep guide:
Understanding Monitoring
I hope this Top Tips page has been useful to you! Don’t forget to cut it out and keep
it with your other Top Tips, as they will definitely come in handy if not now, at some
point in the future.

Monitoring is a term that is not as commonly recognised as Redcare, but Redcare is
in fact a brand of monitoring, not the actual product itself (It’s a bit like saying
‘Hoover’ for a Vacuum Cleaner). After having read this Top Tip, you should have an
understanding of monitoring and what relevance it has to you and your organisation.
WHAT IS MONITORING?
In short, monitoring is how your
system automatically calls the Police
and Fire Brigade.
WHAT CAN BE MONITORED?
Water leak detection
CCTV activation
Fire alarm
Intruder alarm
Panic alarm
Temperature monitoring (fridges etc)
Fault monitoring
And many more...
DO I NEED MY FIRE & SECURITY
SYSTEMS MONITORED?
Great question as it is not always a
necessity to monitor your alarms. However,
there are a couple of reasons/situations
where it is a necessity.
These are:
1. If your insurance provider requires it.
Most insurance providers do ask for
your systems to be monitored, however
it is worth double checking with cont...
your insurance provider to see whether
or not you definitely need monitoring.
It might be required on your fire
systems but not your intruder.
2. If you are conscious of your building
when no one is there.
For example if you run a school
building, you will have peace of mind
knowing that people who are needed
i.e. Police or Fire Brigade, will be called
instantly and automatically
WHAT DO I NEED IN PLACE TO HAVE
A MONITORED SYSTEM?
System and building requirements for
monitoring vary depending on what
grade of monitoring you are after.
These could range from simply having a
fire or intruder alarm panel, to having a
number of phone lines, and more.

system, please visit:

3. @Work
Paul Blyth
It had to happen eventually, another Paul
joins the team (You can never have too
many Pauls in my book).
Paul Blyth joins us in an engineering role,
he was encouraged to join us by a good
friend of his (Justin) and brings with him
a great attitude and a bag full of calm
and patience (he coaches an under 10’s
football team!). As a keen gamer, we’re
looking forward to Paul helping us get to
the next level (in customer service)...
Q1. If you were stuck on
a desert island and
could only bring three
things with you what
would they be?
IPad, Wife and Children.
Q2. If you could have a superpower
what would it be and why?
Mind-reading.
Q3. If there were a movie about your life,
who would play you and why?
Matthew McConaughey, he is the
same sort of character and also a big
American sports fan.
Q4. What was the last gift you gave?
I bought my wife an IPad.
Q5. Who do you follow on Twitter and why?
IGN, because I'm a gamer.
Q6. Who is your Idol?
My Grandad, as he was in the RAF
and when he came out was a great
musician who wrote and directed
stage plays.
