Awards continue to roll in for a Midlands company that has disrupted the access management industry with its innovative and highly secure key safes. The Key Safe Company, based in Worcester, won Business Innovation of the Year at the North Worcestershire Business Awards for its ark Tamo Pro–a robust key safe able to store keys at the point of need and, with its unique QR code technology, allow vital property information right there on site for authorised visitors.

This type of cutting-edge technology has helped Key Safe become a household name in the care sector; enabling carers to gain secure access to patients’ homes, often in an emergency, by providing safe storage of keys at the point of need.

Security sector 

Award win came just days after Key Safe Founder and CEO Ogden was named Most Innovative Key Security Solutions CEO

The police preferred ark Tamo Pro, which is billed as the world’s most secure push-button key safe with certifications from the Loss Prevention Certification Board, has also revolutionised the security sector by allowing companies to save money and time transporting keys between centralised storage facilities and the relevant properties.

The award win came just days after Key Safe Founder and CEO David Ogden was named Most Innovative Key Security Solutions CEO (UK) in the Global CEO Excellence Awards 2024, and shortlisted at the Great British Entrepreneur Awards.

Security features and robust design

To pick up another award for our ark Tamo Pro is testament to the quality of the product and the effect it is having on so many industries,” Ogden said. Its patented multi-push mechanism, security features and robust design makes it an incredibly secure key safe. It has withstood rigorous attack-testing by third-party officials to achieve the highest security rating and standards."

The product’s evolution is the result of more than £1.4million investment in research and development over the years and a collective effort to act on customer feedback all the way.”

Business Innovation of the Year award

Business Innovation of the Year award set out to celebrate innovative businesses that can showcase products

Sponsored by Worcestershire Growth Hub, the Business Innovation of the Year award set out to ‘celebrate innovative businesses that can successfully showcase products, technologies and processes that lead the way in innovation.’

David says Key Safe is not planning to rest on its laurels. And, having sold more than three million key safes since launching the business in 1996, he’s aiming for more success.

New technologies

Key Safe exists because storing keys securely at their point of need was a problem for so many people and so many industries,” Ogden added. “We’ve applied new technologies to make class-pioneering products that have solved that problem. We hope to innovate even further while helping a great range of industries to ensure they can access their properties in a safe and effective way."

The team at Key Safe work incredibly hard to ensure we stay ahead of the curve and deliver for our customers. This latest award is for each and every one of them.”
