datadiffusion Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 as i said last year if they put the show on so as it overlapped a weekend instead of weekdays then they would get more engineers going. The only way i can go is to use up a valuable holiday day and as i only have 20 (- 3 for Xmas) each day is valuable.Also i remember when it was mainly alarms with an cctv village nowadays its mainly cctv with a intruder presence !! paul 43860[/snapback] I'm certainly looking forward to visiting the Security Installer stand Although to be honest those promises of a free bar might have tipped things a bit... Hope that wasnt some sort of windup because I'll be very dissapointed if it was! Went to the one at Earls Court last year, forgotten the name now, luckily (back then) it was only a tube ride away. Utter waste of my life! Stu. So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands
Mavrick_001 Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 Sorry to say I won't be going!! This is going to cause an uproar but answer yourself these questions. Does it cost me money to be there. Will I get paid for being there. Could I be doing other things of benifit on the day, like looking after my business? Will I make anything out of it. I know this seems grim but, I have that many people calling asking if they can send me lit on their new gear and prices etc. My thoughts have been if you know the products you fit and they are good & your happy with them, & your customers are happy with them.... stick with them! If it's not broke don't fix it. As for new stuff, get all the information you can & go through it, if it interests you then get a rep out to see you. Some of you will the toss with me I'm sure. But BNI, Business networking, open days are all a waste of time & money as far as I can see it. If you guys can manage to change my mind or give me just cause to suggest that I might be wrong then who knows, I might send someone.......

Chris Teague Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 If you guys can manage to change my mind or give me just cause to suggest that I might be wrong then who knows, I might send someone....... I'd agree with you Mavrick, but I'm only interested in the Intruder side of things with EN50131, as most manufactorers have still to come clean on how their kit will be graded & IFSEC in my opinion will give them all something to crow about, as they've nothing better or more interesting to say on this subject at the moment. Some of us (SSAIB & NSI) firms are ready for EN501 & just want to get on with it, knowing what kit meets the grade. Anyone got any info on D/C's meeting grade 3 in this respect?
