The Leeds based lock company Pickersgill-Kaye reports sales enquiries from overseas after displaying its range of locks and hatches at the Home Office’s 2015 Security & Policing Exhibition in Farnborough this month.
The company, which designs and manufactures all its locks in the UK, is confident of securing several orders as a result of exhibiting at the showcase invite only event that attracts defence and security figures from across the globe.
Enquiries for its mechanical and electro-mechanical custodial, high security gate and multipoint locking products were received from countries in the Middle East, Far East and the Caribbean. There was also interest from government departments and defence officials closer to home, says Pickersgill-Kaye. At times queues of people formed around its stand waiting for demonstration, according to company Product Manager for High Security Locking, Mark Tailby.
He said: “Pickersgill-Kaye is proud to continue its ongoing support for this event. This year we displayed a comprehensive range of new and existing locking solutions and cell door hatches from our portfolio. Our stand attracted tremendous interest from both UK and overseas visitors. We are looking forward to following up these enquiries and participating again in next year’s exhibition.”
