SPONSORS OF THE PSSA NEWSLETTER:
A manufacturing company, whose products protect high-profile venues
worldwide, is celebrating 30 years in business. The firm also recently
learnt they had been crowned Export Business of the Year in the Hull &
Humber regional heat in this year’s Chamber Business Awards.
Counter-terror product manufacturer, Heald Ltd originally operated
as an agricultural engineering company before recognising the need for
specialised security equipment.
In 1994, Heald repositioned itself as an international counter-terror
product manufacturer whose products now secure many vulnerable
properties worldwide.
Known to those in the industry as hostile vehicle mitigation systems,
Heald’s award-winning products consist mainly of innovative bollards,
barriers and road-blockers that aim to protect a number of prominent
clients worldwide.
Approximately 80% of Heald’s products are exported overseas and
installed at military sites, presidential buildings, airports stadia, banks,
shopping malls and many more locations that require protection against
criminal activity and terrorist threat.
With a consistent approach to innovation and the aim of creating
at least one new security product each year, Heald recently invented
the Hydra, an intelligent monitoring system which offers clients
the opportunity to operate multiple security units remotely. The
development was a response to extensive market research and customer
demands, particularly in the USA.
In the firm’s 30th year, Heald has collected a myriad of award wins
and shortlistings including an award win with the Northern Power
Women and the Yorkshire Business Leaders. Most recently, the firm
was shortlisted in three categories in The Yorkshire Post’s Excellence in
Business Awards.
Alongside this, the firm has also received recognition for its
commitment to intellectual property in the Metis Partner’s IP100 League
Table, where it was listed in 6th place.
Commenting on a very successful 30 years in business, managing
director, Debbie Heald stated: “The Heald team is delighted to celebrate
our 30th anniversary this year and we look forward to another 30 years
in business. With plans to expand our partner networks globally and a
number of new projects in the pipeline, Heald can look forward to an
exciting future.”
Heald Ltd will join other security experts exhibiting at the UK Security
Expo in London later this year – an event attracting government, law
enforcement, intelligence and defense audiences, who will gain the
opportunity to experience the full potential of anti-terror measures. 
