North East surveillance company secures over £2million

North East CCTV systems integrator 2020 Vision is looking forward to a healthy 2009 after securing new contracts worth over £2million during December.

The largest of the new contracts is for two hospital projects. 2020 has successfully secured the £1.6m hospital contacts through Crown House Technology, following a successful partnership with Crown House on the security developments for Newcastle NHS Foundation Trust.

Crown House has awarded 2020 Vision the contract for the new Forth Valley Acute Hospital in Larbert, near Falkirk and for Roseberry Park, the multi-million pound redevelopment of the current St Luke’s Hospital in Teesside.

The contracts will include systems such as site-wide CCTV, staff attack prevention and baby tagging hardware.

Bede Academy School in Blyth is the third December contract win for 2020 Vision, secured through electrical contractors Veale Nixon after successful completion of a similar project at Newcastle’s Excelsior Academy School.

These wins are all on top of secured contracts worth a combined £260,000 for various universities.

Peter Houlis, managing director of 2020 Vision, said: “I am delighted we are bucking the trend to secure such high value profile orders in the current economic down turn. It is testament to our reputation and the hard work of everyone at 2020Vision.

“We have a team in which I am truly proud. Our sales guys in particular have certainly earned their Christmas break, but we won’t be resting on our laurels during a recession as crime prevention and detection becomes ever more important. This coupled with the terrorist threat, global crime gangs and the need for companies to operate to maximum efficiency means the need for real time management information provided by the latest generation digital security systems is at an all time high.”
