Steve Ross , Commercial Director for Avocet ABS commented , “ when we were approached by Finfort to work with them on their innovative FinBolt product , we were particularly excited by their vision of a security product that lends itself to the design conscious person . We are already looking at new bespoke finishes for our cylinder to work alongside Finfort ’ s future plans for an architecturally designed high security product offering .”
Considered one of the most prestigious accolades in the interior design industry , success in the GOLD-standard Awards programme which amassed over 3,000 entries from 85 countries demonstrates the highest level of design excellence across the commercial and residential sectors .
