VCL believes diversity and increased benefits of scale will follow parent group Honeywell's acquisition of Ultrak's worldwide CCTV operation
Jeremy Hockham, managing director of Ademco International – which includes, VCL, Ademco Video, Ademco Microtech, Intellisense, Northern Systems and Notifier – commented: "It has provided new routes for the group to develop further into the growing CCTV market and strengthen our existing global purchasing power in all areas of our operation.

"The integration of Ultrak in the UK has involved no redundancies. The staff and facilities at its former Warrington site have moved the short distance to join us at our Runcorn head office."

Meanwhile VCL has put together a team blending internal expertise with new blood. Sales and marketing director John Prosser explained: "The development of key people within our business, combined with the recruitment of specialised and experienced industry professionals will strengthen our position in the market still further."

Recent promotions and additions include: Chris Brown as a digital specifier and digital and networked products specialist; Andy Alexander as product specifier; Wendy Potts as Northern internal sales manager; Tony Curran Northern internal sales team leader; and Guy Willott as access control manager.
