A free CPD event by the Wigan-based manufacturer of life safety products C-TEC saw visitors from schools, colleges, councils and fire specialist companies on Wednesday, November 4. Worth four hours of CPD points, the event covered lockdown procedures, pictured, fire system upgrades and Equality Act compliance through three seminars:
• Lockdown Alert! –
An overview of Martyn’s Law (The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025): What you need to know, the solutions available and how to comply.
• Access All Areas –
Equality and Accessibility legislation in the UK, the solutions available and how to ensure you comply; and
• Want to upgrade your fire detection and alarm systems? We can save you thousands! –
How to upgrade an old fire system to an addressable system capable of lockdown functionality, internet connectivity, and false alarm reduction.
Delegates got lunch and a tour of the C-TEC factory. The day ended with a Q&A session with C-TEC’s MD, Andrew Foster. Afterwards Andy Green, C-TEC’s Marketing Director said: “We were delighted with the response to our Education Day. Feedback from delegates has been excellent. Many told us they came away with a much clearer understanding of the legislation and practical, cost-effective ways to comply. The factory tour and Andrew’s Q&A session were real highlights. Given the level of interest, we will definitely be running more events like this in the future.”
