Season’s Greetings

2023 certainly continued the busy wave of 2022 with lots of projects being specified and installed.
This year brought its own set of tests to the market, but Frontier Pitts has embraced them and risen to the challenge. We would like to take this opportunity to look back at 2023 and report on its positives, whilst also thanking our staff, suppliers, and agents around the World for all their continued hard work and support.
Research and Development certainly did not slowdown in 2023. Behind the scenes products are being developed and redesigned to incorporate the latest technologies, and to make the products easier to transport around the World, easier to install and to maintain, whilst always meeting the latest automatic safety controls.

Our large range of IWA14 and PAS68 impact tested Anti-Terra products continue to be specified and installed on a variety of projects, including Government Buildings, Critical National Infrastructure, Datacentres and Utility sites. Indeed, the number of IWA14 and LPS1175 certified Terra Bi-fold Gates installations increased further, both in the UK and overseas. Now available as LPS1175 forced entry tested to Security Rating A1 (SR1) and B3 (SR2), and IWA14 impact tested stopping 7.2t at 30mph.

With the Terra Bi-fold on the outer layer of such schemes, our Platinum range of LPS1175 Gates are specified and installed on the inner layers of the security onion. Our Terra Diamond Turnstile, our Platinum Pedestrian Gates and the unique Platinum Turnstiles then provide LPS1175 security rated pedestrian access control. Our LPS1175 range of products will continue to grow as Architects and Security Consultants ask us to push the boundaries to create specific product solutions for their needs.

This year we have also continued our International Standard Organisation (ISO) Integrated Management System (IMS) accreditations with a successful audit by ISOQAR, including ISO14001 Environmental and ISO45001 Health & Safety into our well-established ISO 9001 Quality Management System.

Under the scope of the design, manufacture, installation, and maintenance of steel fabrications, including electronically powered gates and barriers, an integrated management system shows Frontier Pitts commitment to encompass all Quality, Safety, Health and Environmental (QSHE) elements under one umbrella. This ensures continuous performance and improvement, and conformity to PAS99 requirements and further improves efficiency to meet the high standards required by our clients.

This year Team FPL entered the London ASICS 10km race joining many thousands
of runners in the streets of central London as a company team event. From novice runners to experienced marathon runners, it was a great experience for all involved with great teamwork, and an event which will be added to the companies calendar for years to come.

For exhibitions we began the year at the Intersec exhibition in Dubai with our Middle East office who have continued to expand in 2023 and worked hard to win high profile projects in the region including the Grand Mosque in Saudi Arabia.

We also enjoyed other in person exhibitions with IFSEC and International Security Expo catching up with lots of existing customers whilst also showcasing our latest product innovations. We look forward to these shows again in 2024.

With continuous manufacturing, installations, and PPM maintenance visits and numerous export projects have been delivered around the World with all our branches and agents continuing to support our customers on the ground. We would like to thank all our staff and agents for all their hard work and support this year. We are proud of the Perimeter Security and Hostile Vehicle Mitigation manufacturing specialist we are today and look forward to Protecting Your World for decades to come.

And finally, we would like to you wish everybody Season’s Greetings from all of us at Frontier Pitts Ltd.
