    Seasons Greetings To All Our Clients
    18th Dec 2018
    By Senseco

     

    We would like to thank all of our clients for their support during the year and pass on our best wishes for the festive season.   2018 has been an amazing year for Senseco.  Our big focus for the year has been customer service and we have made many improvements to our processes and ways in which we interact with our clients to raise customer service to the next level.  We have retained and won many prestigious maintenance contracts in various sectors including commercial buildings, hospitals, data centres and hotels.  We have also secured some major projects including new build residential blocks at Wood Wharf (adjacent to Canary Wharf), various system replacements and migrations in existing working buildings and a variety of water mist and gas extinguishing projects for generator enclosures and critical areas.  We have carried out a variety of seminars and CPD presentations on such diverse subjects as fire suppression / extinguishing systems, false alarm reduction and fire system legislation.  We also launched our new website, corporate brochure, case studies and British Standards guides.  We’re looking forward to working with you in 2019

    Christmas Jumper Day At Senseco

    The Senseco Team were pleased to wear their best woollies to support Christmas Jumper Day on Friday 14th Dec to raise money for Save the Children.  This was the latest in a line of themed days we’ve had this year to raise money for charity. We recently had our spooky Halloween coffee morning with an impressive array of costumes to raise money for the ‘You Can’ Youth Cancer support charity.  In August to celebrate our fabulous summer we held our Hawaiian themed dress down day with some colourful costumes, to raise money for Cancer Research.  Any excuse to dress up (or dress down) and the Senseco team are in!  We also supported and sponsored a number of our client’s charity events including the Synecore Golf Day which raised enough money to buy a Variety Club Sunshine Coach.  We also sponsored the kit for the CBRE Hauts-de-France Bike Ride which was a three-day, 300 mile, cycle through the hills of Hauts-de-France to raise funds for Action for Children

    Call Out Cover Over The Festive Period

    The Senseco head office closes shortly after lunch on Christmas Eve and reopens on Wednesday 2nd January 2019. However, we have our call out service operational and engineers on standby for emergency call outs during the festive period as part of our 24 / 7 / 365 back up service to our clients.  Just use our normal call out number of 0845 644 2888 for emergencies during the festive period, or at any other time.

    Fire Safety Seminar: 22nd Nov 2018 London

    We are running an afternoon seminar in a private members club in Covent Garden on fire safety which provides essential information for specifiers, end users, facilities management companies, consultants and contractors.  Spaces are limited so please e-mail seminars@sensecosystems.com to book your space.  There have been many high-profile fire incidents in the last two years – but what have we learnt from them?  This seminar discusses important issues on fire safety and focuses on the key areas below.

    Legislation, Compliance and Standards

    We will highlight some of the key recommendations from the “Hackitt report” i.e. “Building a Safer Future – Independent Review of Building Regulations and Fire Safety”. We will discuss what you need to do to keep compliant with the law and provide information on fire safety legislation and fire system standards.

    Maintenance and Competence

    Under fire safety legislation any and all equipment installed for the purposes of fire safety must be maintained in good working order, which must be carried out by a competent person.  The importance of effective maintenance cannot be stressed enough, but not all maintenance contracts are equal.  We will discuss the important things to look for with fire system service providers and maintenance proposals.

    Detecting Real Fires and Reducing False Alarms

    It is vital that real fires are detected quickly to provide the fastest response to ensure the safety of all building occupants.  But it is also vitally important to minimize unwanted alarms as these can lead to complacency and waste fire service resources which can also lead to fines.  We will discuss various detection technology and measures to reduce unwanted alarms.  We will demonstrate false alarm immune detection where we offer our FAITH (False Alarm Immune TecHnology) guarantee.

    Fairness, Inclusions & Respect Ambassadors

    We are pleased to announce that Senseco has two Fairness, Inclusion and Respect Ambassadors.  Emma Manuel and Hannah Gibson from our HR team attended an FIR workshop run by the Supply Chain Sustainability School and have become FIR ambassadors for our business.  The construction industry in general and the fire and security industry specifically, are facing an unprecedented skills shortage.  It is important that we attract and recruit from the full pool of talent including those groups who have traditionally been under represented.  Our goal is creating better workplaces that are fairer, inclusive and more respectful so they are positive places to work where everyone feels safe and supported, able to achieve their maximum potential and be part of an exciting and rewarding industry.

    Women in Construction

    Zoe Richardson, one of our Project Managers, has a degree in construction management and is a member of Women in Construction.  Zoe started as an administrator on a construction site 15 years ago, progressing through different roles including quantity surveyor and various work placements during her degree studies.  She has been in the fire and security industry for the last 9 years and in her role as Project Manager for Senseco is currently managing some very high-profile contracts including some new build projects at Wood Wharf, the latest Canary Wharf development.

    As well as attending seminars, Zoe has been out to local Colleges and Universities carrying out lectures on Women in Construction.  At a recent lecture at Mid Kent College she was letting young women know that there were various choices and careers in construction / engineering.  It is not all about being on the tools.  Saying that, Zoe is no stranger to rolling her sleeves up and “mucking in” on site when deadlines need to be met!

    CIBSE – 13th June – London and
    BIFM –  27th June – Chichester Seminars

    Just a reminder about presentations we are carrying out at forthcoming CIBSE and BIFM South Seminars.  The CIBSE (Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers) YEN (Young Engineers Network) event is being held at Cundall, near St Pauls in London on 13th June, arrival from 6pm ready for a 6.30pm start.  The BIFM (British Institute of Facilities Management) South event is at County Hall, Chichester, arrival from 5.30pm ready for a 6pm start.  Both are open to non-members.  The seminar content is as follows:

    With recent high-profile fires, the issues of fire detection and fire suppression have never been more prominent in people’s minds. The need for compliant systems to effectively detect fires and suppression systems to control or extinguish them, to protect people and property is of paramount importance.  This presentation is in two parts and looks at water mist systems as an alternative to sprinkler systems, giving the pros and cons of each.  But it mainly focusses on the updated fire detection and alarm standard BS5839-1:2017.  It gives an overview of the changes to the standard and what you need to be aware of.

    Business Development Managers –

    For any new maintenance enquiries please contact Amelia Heather or Cecil
    Esson, our very experienced Business Development Managers. They will arrange
    site surveys or work from asset lists provided to produce a maintenance

    Service Operation Managers – Existing Contracts

    One of the many benefits our maintenance clients receive is access to our Service Operations Managers.  It is their role to visit all of our maintenance clients setting up a meeting schedule to suit you, whether it is after each service visit, monthly or at other agreed intervals.  They will gather feedback on our service delivery, discuss any actions and remedials following a service, provide latest advice and guidance and discuss your needs. They are also there to ensure any issues are dealt with swiftly and effectively.  Our closeness to our clients and accessibility to service managers is one of the many ways we work in partnership with our clients, keeping you compliant and your systems working in peak condition.

    Somerset House

    Somerset House is a heritage property dating back to 1547 in the heart of London. Although it is well known for it’s outdoor skating rink at Christmas and open air concerts in the summer, it has many other uses and accommodates many other tenants. It hosts the UK’s largest creative community working globally across art, technology, business and social enterprise.

    The South Wing of Somerset House had a mix of hard wired fire detection system, an obsolete radio / wireless fire detection system and many aspiration systems, most no longeroperational. The project was to replace all of the systems in the South Wing with a single fire detection system for all areas and provide graphical representation of this wing and two other wings with legacy systems on a single graphics platform.

    This was all to be carried out within a listed building with mixed use and different tenants with minimal disruption to day to day operations.

    Castle Mall

    Located in the centre of Norwich City, Castle Mall shopping centre comprises of 60 stores and food outlets, across five levels of retail and leisure, including an 8-screen Vue cinema. The centre also boasts a 790 space multi-storey car park.

    The fire detection and alarm system installed in the shopping centre was a Honeywell FC90 system, which was closed protocol and had reached the end of its working life. A replacement system was therefore needed to provide a modern supportable system for the shopping centre.

    This is a working shopping centre so minimal disruption to the operation of the shopping centre, retailers and shoppers was of paramount importance.
