ATG Access has granted the first in a series of franchise licences to Northeast Security Bollards Ltd in a bid to satisfy the rapidly increasing demand for the company’s telescopic security bollard systems.
The Newcastle-based company now offers a full consultation, design, installation and maintenance service to an area reaching from the Tyne to Edinburgh, and across as far as Dumfries.

Franchise-holder Peter Harrison says the company has already experienced a high level of interest in the products, with growth being fuelled by the rise in vehicle crime, which currently costs the country around £3.5 billion a year.

ATG Access manufactures a wide range of manual, automatic and static bollards, which can be used individually, or combined to create fully integrated access control systems. The company provides solutions from single domestic properties through to full town centre access control systems.
