Nationwide Fire & Security Integration
As part of a strategic move to enhance security capabilities and improve operational efficiency, a valued national client appointed
SecuriGroup Systems
to deliver a next-generation CCTV solution across their portfolio of
23 sites across the UK.
End-to-end system design, installation, and maintenance across 47 sites UK-wide
SecuriGroup Systems was selected as the trusted fire and security partner for the Donaldson Timber Group, tasked with overseeing the protection of the Group’s extensive network of subsidiaries and facilities across the UK.
The partnership spans the full lifecycle of safety and security services, from design and installation to maintenance and 24/7 monitoring — covering 47 sites nationwide, including sawmills, distribution centres, and retail premises.
In addition to supporting existing infrastructure, SecuriGroup has introduced several major system upgrades. Notably, two large-scale fire alarm installations were completed at the Elm Park Sawmill in Fife, Scotland, and the Ilkeston Sawmill in Derby, England. These sites, considered high-risk by insurers due to their operational nature, were outfitted with Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus (VESDA) in critical areas, alongside a full L1 fire detection upgrade for comprehensive protection across all buildings.
This high-specification fire safety investment has directly contributed to a reduction in the Group’s insurance premiums, underlining the importance of best-in-class system design and compliance.
Beyond fire safety, SecuriGroup also delivered new CCTV, intruder detection, and access control systems to multiple Group subsidiaries, including Nu-Style Products, MGM Timber Merchants, Stonecare, and Kitchens International retail and distribution locations.
Today, all fire and security systems across the Donaldson Timber Group’s UK sites are monitored and maintained by SecuriGroup, providing peace of mind through consistency, quality, and rapid response capabilities.
