Ken Ham of Guardian Security Systems in Bristol commented : “ MTL™600 uses the latest design technology and highly automated production techniques to deliver precision engineering with unparalleled performance . This is why it was particularly suitable for Bristol University , who we worked with to design , build and maintain the master key suites across campus to ensure high-quality security , whilst also providing necessary access for staff and students .”
Ian Thresher , Regional Sales Manager of Mul-T-Lock added : “ The changing nature of the university ‘ ecosystem ’ in the UK , with significant developments such as rising tuition fees has many implications , including consequences for the safety and security of students , staff and the public .
“ The legal and reputational issues arising from any failure to protect and secure people , physical assets and information data , are also increasingly severe . Hence , it is integral for suppliers like Mul-T-Lock and Guardian Security Systems to work closely with universities like Bristol , to understand the bespoke security requirements and install the best solution , such as MTL™600 to protect all those who attend .”
