Industry News Brisant Secure goes from strength to strength as 2020 unfolds British security authority, Brisant, has combined its locks and handles know-how with the latest in smart home technology to help safeguard your beloved property. The average door handle can be removed in just nine seconds, making valuable items, such as car keys and personal data, easy pickings for burglars. » THE FIRM DISTRIBUTES ACROSS the UK and has expanded its original offering from one to four distinct ranges – Sweet, Lock Lock, Ultion and Ultion Smart. Each superior design has not only achieved the highest standard of excellence, the Kitemark 3-star accreditation, but has been recommended by locksmiths (Sold Secure Diamond) and the Police (Secure By Design) alike. In fact, the Ultion range goes much further than three star and is, therefore, being promoted as a 3*PLUS product. The arrival of the robust range is no doubt timely for UK homeowners wishing to safeguard their homes. Because of this, it seems Brisant, which currently sells in the region of 600,000 locks per year, is only going to go from strength to strength as 2020 unfolds. The Yorkshire-based security hardware specialists, Brisant Secure were recently ranked 18th in the Sunday Times Virgin Atlantic Fast Track 100, an annual list showcasing Britain’s leading 100 private companies with the faster-growing sales over the last three years. Launched in 2012, following a harrowing burglary experience, Brisant has been quick to build upon its humble beginnings; according to the league table, the lock and hinge manufacturer’s latest sales sat at £8,783,000, posting a 111.27% increase over three years. “What separates our products is designing them to achieve as much as possible and not down to a standard. Whether it’s doing 1,100,000 lock cycles when only 100,000 are needed, 8000+ weather test hours when 240 are needed, or having the only Sold Secure accredited door handle on the market”, says CEO Nick Dutton. “We then provide really powerful tools for our customers to relay this message to their customers. There is homeowner demand for the best, and when they realise how little the cost difference is between normal and best, they buy it.” But it’s not just business growth where its brilliance shines through. The Ultion Facebook page now has over 18,000 followers and the Ultion website witnesses over 40,000 unique visitors each month. Nick continues, “All at Brisant are incredibly proud of what our effort and product demand has achieved. Seeing how demand has continued we’re hopeful of making it into next year’s list as well.” www.brisant-secure.com MAR/APR 2020 Magazine Sponsor Issue Takeover locksmithjournal.co.uk 13
