Following our successful audit last autumn, and after what seems months of waiting, we today received our hard-copy updated ISO9001:2000 certificate.

We know that many of you have been waiting for this from us to comply with your own Quality Systems.  We have therefore made the ISO 9001:2000 certificate available for direct download from the Company Information page of our website – HERE.

We had a higher than usual number of non-UK visitors, testament to the organiser’s efforts in promoting this as an international show.  This was great as we are always seeking new countries with which to “do business”, but it was also good to meet with existing and potential UK customers.

Using our new exhibition kit, we were able to demonstrate a wide range of products again, as we did at the Hannover Messe in April.  Whilst Firex and the associated show IFSEC mainly focus on fire and security, the deegee portfolio is applied in a vast range of sectors, and it is rather surprising just how many other areas are represented by the visitors to a show like Firex.  Engineers and installation specialists tend to cover more than just one aspect of site security nowadays, and this means the potential for picking up valuable contacts across the product range is high.

The new exhibition stand design was very well-received, and we were delighted with our new stand location.  It was the widest range of products that we had been able to demonstrate at one time, and it certainly achieved the responses we had hoped for.

We’re already busy planning our development strategy ready for Hannover Messe 2010, and look forward to seeing you again next April, if not before.

So after months of planning, here we are on the first morning of Hannover Messe 2009, with our fabulous new stand design and some great new beacons and sounders.

Come and visit us – Hall 8 Booth B02 – and see what’s new.  We look forward to seeing you again.

The final touches are being made to our new exhibition equipment, new product samples are being screwed down, and literature is hot off the press, all in time for Monday 20th April 2009, when we take deegee to the Hannover Messe.  Even after many years of exhibiting at this show, there are always last minute issues to attend to, because we use it as a platform to launch new products, concepts and brochures.

We hope your plans are finalised, and that we get the opportunity to meet you in Hannover next week.  Safe travels, and see you soon.

Deegee beacons and sounders will be on show at International Firex from 11th to 14th May 2009.  Held every two years at the NEC in Birmingham, UK, International Firex runs alongside the Security Show (IFSEC),  Fire & Rescue, the Safety & Health Expo and The Facilities Show. 

Because the deegee range is so extensive and the collection of shows covers several key market sectors, it’s a great opportunity to meet with both existing and potential customers.

Come and visit us in Hall 3 at Stand H5.

Belgian partner of D. G. Controls Ltd, Inelmatec , are taking the deegee beacon and sounder range with them to Technologie 09 in Brussels. 

Technologie 09 is the  premier fair for electrical installation engineers, and is held at the Brussels Expo from 12th to 15th May 2009.  

You can visit Inelmatec in Hall 3 Stand 24.

Swedish distributor of the deegee beacon and sounder range, Toleka, will be demonstrating the deegee range at ELFACK,  at the Svenska Massan (Swedish Exhibition Centre) in Gothenburg, Sweden, from 4th to 8th May 2009.

ELFACK is the leading Scandinavian exhibition catering for the electrical technology, lighting and power sectors.  With a different focus or theme each of the exhibition days, it looks to be an interesting show, culminating in a celebration commemorating its 40th year.

Visit Toleka at Stand B03:62

MD of D. G. Controls Ltd, Mr. Jon Whiten was particularly impressed with the MTA’s access to politicians and government when he was invited  to a reception at the House of Commons in November 2008.  Held in the Members Dining Room of the House of Commons, and hosted by Mr. Stephen O’Brien MP, Jon was pleased to meet with Mr. Mark Todd, the Member of Parliament for South Derbyshire.  This gave the introduction which resulted in the visit to deegee by Mr. Todd in February 2009.

The MTA is an Association of companies involved in some way in engineering based manufacturing.  It is focused on the representation of the engineering sector to government, supports members with specific industry intelligence, and hosts the UK’s largest manufacturing technologies exhibition, MACH.
