Counter Terror Awards
The PSSA is lending its support to the 2018 Counter Terror Awards

the public and private sectors and their contributions to counter
terror strategy in the UK and overseas, as well as the vital role played
by the military and emergency services in mitigating terrorist threats

Rosehill
Security
A security company
that provides rubber
security barriers to
protect entrances
and site perimeters
against vehicle borne
attacks has joined Secured by Design (SBD), the national police crime
prevention initiative.
Rosehill Security, of West Yorkshire, has had two of its innovative
engineered Impakt Defender surface mounted polymer barriers
accredited by SBD.
The one metre length, large footprint barriers, which are connected
by steel securing cables, address ‘hostile vehicle mitigation’,
particularly in high threat environments, which could range from a
public car park through to a large-scale oil refinery.
The barriers will deform on impact to increase stopping
performance and then reform, to be used again. They are capable of
bringing to a stop a heavy vehicle travelling at 48km/hr.
Manufactured in the UK from 100% recycled rubber bonded with
polyurethane for strength, their tough construction enables them to
be deployed rapidly as temporary or permanent perimeter measures
without any need for foundations.
Rosehill Security also provides a range of ballistic solutions for
indoor and outdoor ranges and live fire shoot houses, including
anti-ricochet tiles for walls and floors and bullet absorbent ballistic
building blocks.
The company is a division of Rosehill Polymers Group, a leading
polyurethane systems manufacturer, specialising in the development
and manufacture of elastomers and engineered rubber products.
Rosehill Security Managing Director, Alex Celik, said: “With civil
protection authorities and businesses across the world continuing
to seek improved safety measures to protect people, buildings and
infrastructure, our specially designed Impakt Defender barriers can be
used as part of a comprehensive security strategy to combat criminal
or terrorist attack.”
He added: “They are quick and easy to install, and remove,
compared to other solutions.”
Michael Brooke, Development Officers, SBD: said: “Rosehill Security
operate in a number of business areas but have joined us with this
very clever vehicle impact barrier system. We look forward to working
with them.”
