Education Business

Security is a hot topic in the news, with the BBC reporting on the burglary of 16 schools in Northamptonshire alone in January 2008, and the need for adequate security has never been more apparent. BOSS UK, who is the UK’s leading manufacturer and specialist supplier of all IT and AV security, has been working closely with many Risk and Insurance departments within Councils across the UK, to help schools protect themselves against the rising level of crime and opportunist thief. With the increase of many insurance premiums this April, schools can no longer afford not to protect themselves.
     
Statistics from local education authorities suggest that in some areas, more than fifty percent of schools have experienced a burglary.  Walk-in thefts and break-in’s have a dramatic impact on pupils by impairing effective teaching and learning resources. The cost of higher insurance premiums are, more often than not higher than the value of stolen equipment.
     
With many success stories across the UK, West Sussex County Council as an example has already seen a significant reduction in the level of reported losses in 2007 due to their partnership with BOSS UK.  “Becoming a preferred supplier to councils and achieving our Police Initiative - Secured by Design endorsement has played a vital role in our aim to help Schools and Universities combat rising crime within their establishments.  We pride ourselves in offering a bespoke service with cost effective and robust solutions, for all levels of IT and AV security,” says the director of BOSS UK, Philip Stevens.   
     
Due to BOSS UK’s success in 2007, the range has now been extended for 2008 to incorporate product lines such as new Desks, Laptop Trolleys, Laptop Tracking, Recovery Systems, and Universal Clamps for laptops.  The new desk range not only conforms to physical ergonomic standards but it also helps to create a community environment. Solutions are available with static and height adjustable configuration and the option of a discreet pop up TFT screen cassette.    
     
With the new range of Laptop trolleys BOSS UK is delivering ICT to students of all ages in a mobile and flexible way. The mobile trolleys feature a high security locking systems, built in CAT5 and socket outlets for charging any make and model of Laptop. Overnight docking stations are also available.
