Operational control is shared with four senior managers who oversee all aspects of ou

r project and service delivery. The old fashioned values of customer commitment are paramount and headed up by our MD Kevin Blyde

Customer Care
An advantage of being a local SME is that we can give outstanding customer service and care for each of our customers. As a small business the senior managers may be directly involved with each individual transaction, meaning the customer is dealing with a senior member of the company as compared to the layers of operation in larger businesses. Small businesses recognise that customers are most important and treat them as such. Customer reassurance and response should always be the main criteria to build a good working relationship

Our Core Services
From consultancy and design through to contract handover and planned maintenance, BDS are able to provide a concise and competitive service for a long-term relationship. BDS undertakes the complete design of all projects. Our in-house team are able to offer services matching clients’ needs, from on-site survey and design through to CAD and Hydraulic Calculation

Our People...
Ninety five per cent of our labour force is directly employed, and our quality assurance manager assesses all subcontractors under our quality management system before employing the sub-contractor

To each contract we appoint a team led by a project manager. Emphasis is put on resourcing and the size of the team is monitored to meet the differing requirements of each project. The project manager maintains overall authority during the installation period and allocates an experienced site supervisor who is answerable to him on a daily basis, keeping him informed of all aspects of the installation process including labour, performance and quality

On completion of the installation the project manager will ensure that the systems are fully tested, commissioned and left in the correct status. Upon satisfactory completion the client will be issued with operating manuals and a system log book, we include training sessions on the system’s operation and the user’s British Standard responsibilities

Accreditations - "Trust must be earned"

New Install

We thought we would try something new and show some of our install works completed at The Institute of Charted accountants in England and Wales. Due to their current system becoming obsolete due to parts no longer being available, they decided to change all four of their life safety systems to cover their grade 1 listed building. Out with the old Kentec Syncro and in with the new Morley by Honeywell.
