PSSA Newsletter - June 2019

NEWS  |  ISSUE 23 June 2019 – 12 – Newsletter sponsor: www.highwaycare.com Barkers Fencing have unveiled a new brand identity and logo Barkers Fencing was first established in 1861 as W.H Barkers & Sons, manufacturing machinery for the mining industry. Since the 1980s, Barkers have been manufacturing fencing at their one stop shop fabrication and metal treatment facility. With a strong track record in securing maximum security environments and critical national infrastructure Barkers have been a trusted supplier for many years. The Barkers name will remain, but the new visual identity reflects both the evolution of the company as well as its vision for the future. The new logo and branding represent their expertise in the sector as well as the friendliness and approachability of their well-established team. In addition to the fencing business, Barkers also have two other trading divisions; Barkers Finishing who provide a galvanizing and powdering coating service and Barkers Fasteners who supply and distribute fasteners and fixings. These have been brought under the Barkers brand for consistency and to show their strength as one company. Barkers will continue to focus on providing a secure helping hand for customers from beginning-to-end using their wealth of experience and technical expertise. The rebrand, coupled with their new website, which is set to launch in the summer, will raise the profile of the firm’s online presence and help to increase brand awareness.

A Director at ESCO commented on their recent success: “We are glad that our foray into perimeter security solutions has kicked off on the right note. With excellent support from our partners like Hill & Smith, we have been able to establish ourselves as a force to be reckoned with in Singapore and SEA at large. We will continue to ramp up our efforts and investments to support the strong demand.

We are also in the process of securing 18 electrical substations island wide using a combination of our shallow Beam and Bollard solutions!” Bristorm Impeder Bollards are tested to BSI PAS 68 and IWA 14-1; designed to protect Critical National Infrastructure and crowded places from hostile vehicular attacks, the Impeder Bollards will mitigate vehicles travelling at speeds up to 50mph.
