In addition to presentations from Cougar and BT Redcare there will also be representatives from the technical departments of both companies available for advice, guidance and training.
Eric Roberts, CEO of Cougar Monitoring said, “BT Redcare has been in the alarm signalling market for over 30 years. It’s tried, tested and the majority of its products are third party certified. Having met with the new BT Redcare management team recently it’s clear that they have a renewed
focus and intention to work closer with us and installers. We’re delighted to join them to reinforce that message to our installers.”
BT Redcare sits at the heart of home and business security, bridging the gap between customers, installers and Alarm Receiving Centres. Backed by BT’s trusted technology, and the largest R&D budget in the UK, they have been leading the way in reliable alarm signalling for over 30 years.
Having recently undertaken a refresh of its brand and approach to the market they have pledged to work closer with ARCs and Installers to help grow their businesses.
