RISCO’s installer support service has been expanded with the growth of its technical training programme, as it strives to provide security installers with the opportunity to boost their expertise and learn how to increase the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of their commercial and residential projects.
Technical team expansion
The company has increased both the size of its team and the accessibility of its training.
The expanded technical and training department provides installers including professional and accredited firms delivering multi-site Grade 3 commercial projects with free, bespoke, face-to-face technical training at their premises, at the company’s UK headquarters in Greater Manchester, and also at branches of ADI Global Distribution, with who RISCO signed a national distribution agreement earlier in 2023.

Arriving at RISCO from Walker Fire (UK) where he provided technical support, David has also held roles at Keyways Security Systems and Southern and Northern Monitoring Services.
He works alongside a second technical support and training engineer, Des O’Meara, who was recently promoted to the new position following five years as a technical support helpdesk engineer and has a wealth of engineering knowledge, gained at ADT and SPIE.
Training programme
Alongside sales engineer Glyn Riley, Des and David take responsibility for delivering RISCO’s ambitious training programme. The wider technical team provides additional expertise: UK and Ireland technical and training manager Mark Earp and product support specialist, Chris Denton have both worked for the company for over 15 years.
The group is aided by the company’s apprentice technical support technicians, Mehedi Hussain and Ricardo Butler, who were appointed last summer to provide first-line, UK-based installer assistance.
Installer support package
The managers work directly with installers, gaining insight into their pain points and evolving requirements
The team works closely with RISCO’s commercial department, which saw the addition of four new regional sales managers.
The managers work directly with installers, gaining insight into their pain points and evolving requirements, ensuring that they are catered for with bespoke solutions drawing on RISCO’s product and service portfolio. RISCO’s wider installer support package also includes training webinars and videos.
Easy training access
RISCO’s UK and Ireland Managing Director, Mark Taylor, said, “RISCO is committed to meeting exactly the needs of UK and Ireland installers. The expansion of our technical and training team and access to ADI’s branch network will make it easier than ever before for them to access our training, become experts in our award-winning products, and learn how to deliver projects more efficiently and cost-effectively."
He adds, "We look forward to welcoming significant numbers of UK and Ireland installers to our training events in 2023.”
