VEHICLE SECURITY
ProtectAVan delivers comprehensive security package for The Nurture Group ’ s Ford e-Transit vans
» NORTHGATE HAS TURNED TO TVL Group for the supply and installation of an array of vehicle security products for new Ford e-Transit electric vans for its customer the Nurture Group .
Nurture Group is a specialist in grounds maintenance , landscape construction , plant displays and pest control services working predominantly in urban areas . With a strong safety , compliance , and governance culture , they are very focused on vehicle security to keep both their colleagues safe and equipment protected .
Laura Moran , Managing Director , TVL Group , says : “ Maximising vehicle security is critical for companies like the Nurture Group given the diverse array of tools and equipment it transports every day . That ’ s why we were delighted itself and Northgate placed their trust in TVL Group to keep these new vans protected .
“ As more businesses accelerate their transition from diesel vehicles , this latest
order underlines ProtectAVan ’ s ability to work on not just diesel , but electric and other alternatively-fuelled vans too .”
ProtectAVan has been able to quickly complete Northgate ’ s order courtesy of its recent investment in its company headquarters , which added extra working , storage and parking space while also allowing it to welcome its vehicle fit-out specialist arm ProtectAVan back to the site .
Northgate ’ s order includes TVL ’ s award-winning ArmourShell . This sees an external , semi-automatic lock with antidrill inserts and a hardened steel locking bolt installed , all protected with a unique , angled body designed to deflect direct hammer blows .
TVL ’ s HookLock is also onboard , seeing the installation of a secondary mortice lock – which works independently of the vehicle manufacturer ’ s main system – that throws a hook into a specially designed keep , making it incredibly difficult to force apart .
Rear-and side-door mounted ProtektaPlates have also been installed , which not only act as clear visual deterrents but also see internal antidrill manganese steel plates installed to prevent thieves from accessing the vehicle using work tools .
Completing the build , ProtectAVan has also fitted a low-profile roof vent , grey phenolic floor , a VSWD lightbar , a Mounted Pro Step and a towbar to the ten electric vans .
Spencer Davi , Northgate ’ s Sales Director said : “ We work with each of our customers to develop a bespoke solution for their specific operating needs and that includes vehicle security . The TVL security solution maximises vehicle security for the Nurture Group ’ s fleet of e-Transits .”
Northgate has supplied vehicles to the Nurture Group since 2018 .
