Safetell was founded in Australia in 1984 and started UK operations in 1987 in collaboration with Tate & Lyle Engineering. The company transferred its headquarters to the UK in 1989 with Australia becoming an operating subsidiary and subsequently a licensee. Newmark Security PLC acquired the Safetell group companies in 2000. Safetell employs 70 staff involved in the design, project implementation, service and repair of their products, CCTV, locking systems and industrial doors. Front-line staffs are security vetted to BS7858 and the company operates in accordance with its ISO 9001, LRQA accredited quality system. Throughout its history, they have always adopted a 'whole life' approach: survey, manufacture, procurement, installation, training and after-sales service. The service business extends that philosophy to support their clients for equipment that they may have purchased from third parties.
