Abel Alarm
A central-UK location was high on the list of priorities for national alarm and security provider, Abel Alarm, when searching for new premises.
Established in 1965, Abel Alarm Company is one of the UK’s largest privately-owned providers of electronic security and fire systems, including an in-house Alarm Receiving Centre in Leicester.
The company serves several thousand domestic customers across the UK, as well as commercial clients including some leading national companies, meeting the needs of those customers required a national base with easy access to all parts of the UK.
Trains and roads and planes
Originally located in Stirchley, Birmingham, Abel Alarms was already benefitting from the Heart of England location at the hub of the national transport system - with:
The company decided to stay firmly within the region, relocating just a few miles away to new premises at The Pavilions, Solihull. That decision means that more than 80% of the UK population is within a convenient 150 miles drive of the company’s new location.
Pat Allen, Abel’s Regional Director, says: “Our branch office move from Stirchley to Solihull provides us with a new base with excellent communications to surrounding areas. The move will enhance the reputation of Abel Alarm for service and satisfaction to our customers who continue to choose us for all their security and fire needs.”
Business support
Another benefit of remaining in the Heart of England is that Abel Alarms has access to the region’s support and funding networks, which offer tailored advisory and support services to help maximise the potential of local businesses.
“We look forward to working with the Council’s Business Investment Team,” says Pat Allen. “We are interested in their support initiatives for local businesses, including the Cranmore Business Forum and registering on the supply chain database to encourage local procurement.”
