The Bromsgrove security and monitoring solutions company, Educonnect Limited, which trades as Ecl-ips, is marking its 20th anniversary in 2022. The company, set up in September 2002, has recently been going from strength to strength and our turnover has reached record-breaking levels.
Managing Director, Aaron Kernaghan said, “We are so pleased to have survived these 20 years! Thank you to all the staff who helped us get to 2022 and who are helping us grow further. Here’s to the next 20!”
Integrated security services
This financial strength reflects the company’s move into larger projects and providing fully integrated security services to high-net-worth individuals who have a range of needs on their country estates.
“I wanted to move away from the 5, 10, and 20 camera projects into the 50, 100, and 200 camera projects with access control,” adds Aaron Kernaghan.
Recruitment opportunities
Ecl-ips's project engineers should ideally have experience in installing CCTV, intruder alarms, and access control
To secure the future success of Ecl-ips the company is on the lookout for skilled and experienced people who would become part of a friendly but professional team. Ecl-ips is currently seeking a business development executive and at least one new engineer who will be able to support the exciting installation projects they have underway or in the pipeline.
Ecl-ips's project engineers should ideally have experience in installing CCTV, intruder alarms, and access control systems. They need to be able to work well in a team to complete a job and have good communication skills so they can deal with a wide range of clients and partners.
Security and access control solutions
Aaron, who has been working for Ecl-ips since 2005 and bought out the company in 2007, at first used his Cisco networking and Netbotz expertise to gain a string of important clients. Operations Director, Darren, joined him in 2006 as a Project Engineer and has worked his way up through the business.
Since 2007 the data centre and comms room monitoring business has expanded into security and access control solutions. Ecl-ips offers high-quality and advanced CCTV, access control, and intruder alarms through partnerships with cutting-edge manufacturers and software developers.
New offerings
Darren said, “We have always looked for products to best suit our portfolio. We do a lot of research and testing. We buy in products to test to see if they suit, and if they don’t suit, we don’t continue, we look at the best solution.”
The most recent product offerings that have improved the core range are body-worn cameras, security fog generators, and more recently the HALO smart sensor, three-in-one health, safety, and vape detection device. Additionally, all the systems have been made more powerful, allowing users to respond more quickly to security breaches, due to the development of apps which means they can be monitored and managed via smartphones and tablets.
