SAFES & SAFE LOCKS
The New BSVTA
British Safe and Vault Trade Association ( formerly Eurosafe UK ) was established in February 2011 as the UK associate of its parent organisation , Eurosafe in mainland Europe .
» OVER THE LAST 18 MONTHS WE have undertaken a series of updates to better reflect and represent our sector as it stands today , with a total rebrand .
British Safe and Vault Trade Association ( BSVTA ) is an association open to UK safe manufacturers and companies engaged , as a major part of their business , in the sale of safes , fire safes , security cabinets and vaults and vault doors . Lock manufacturers engaged in the business of safe lock sales , those in the UK Insurance industry , and organisations involved in standards testing are also admitted to membership or associate membership .
Alan Bullock , chair of BSVTA says , “ BSVTA is developing as a well-respected organisation with strong ties to the MLA , AIS , LPCB , and other testing certification houses . The management committee meets regularly to discuss issues affecting the industry and strives to look at new developments and challenges , including certification and testing , reconditioned safes , and insurance ratings .”
New Name • New Logo
• New Challenges
Having realised that the UK required a more focused approach to challenges in the market and to promote a more vigorous defence of our manufacturing base and promotion of standards , we decided to change the name from Eurosafe UK to BSVTA at the end of last year . We also feel that this new name better represents the diversity of the UK safe industry , which is served not only by direct manufacturers , but by
companies who offer safes from many sources to offer customers a wide choice . The new logo reflects what we see as an historical strong base for safe manufacture and commitment to standards : professionalism , integrity and security . www . bsvta . co . uk has now also launched and is packed full of vital industry information . There is now a dedicated password protected membership zone , detailed members list , our aims and objectives , the BSVTA code of practice , and full profiles on our officers . In the news and articles sections visitors will be kept up to date with the latest industry and BSVTA developments , as well as more in-depth features .
