Overview
JCB Watling is one of the UK’s leading distributors and service providers for JCB machinery, supplying and maintaining millions of pounds worth of heavy construction and agricultural equipment. As a trusted partner to JCB, the company operates multiple facilities across the Midlands, supporting both sales and servicing operations for customers nationwide.
Challenge
With high-value machinery on-site and a large volume of daily activity across showrooms, service bays, and storage yards, JCB Watling required a comprehensive security solution to protect its assets, personnel, and customers. The systems needed to deliver complete visibility, early detection of potential threats, and full compliance with insurance and safety standards.
Solution
Control Group designed and installed a fully integrated security and fire protection system across JCB Watling’s locations. This included:
- CCTV Surveillance: High-definition camera coverage across internal and external areas, providing real-time monitoring and recorded evidence.
- Intruder Alarm: Robust detection systems linked to Control Group’s 24/7 Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) for rapid response.
- Fire Detection Systems: Fully compliant fire alarms designed to safeguard staff, customers, and valuable machinery. Each system is centrally managed and supported through Control Group’s proactive maintenance program, ensuring consistent performance and minimal downtime.
Outcome
Control Group’s partnership with JCB Watling has significantly strengthened site security and risk management across its operations. The advanced monitoring and detection infrastructure helps protect millions of pounds worth of JCB machinery, giving management confidence in the safety and security of their sites at all times.
