Compliance Solutions
SMARTER
COMPLIANCE
SOLUTIONS
heckedSafe is a software company based in
CBurnley, Lancashire and for over 10 years has
provided simple and inexpensive compliance solutions
to a range of different industries; from transport and
logistics; to construction and plumbing.
Founded in 2014, CheckedSafe was developed
with the goal to simplify compliance, making it
straightforward and affordable. Recognising tight
margins and confusing legal jargon can disrupt the
success of transport firms, CheckedSafe has been
praised for prioritising simplicity in its solutions.
The main role of CheckedSafe is to make compliance
simple, digital and cost-effective for businesses that
manage vehicles, drivers and workplace safety.
All services are fully integrated into one easy-to-use
management portal, helping businesses improve
safety, reduce risk, cut admin costs and stay
compliant with industry regulations.
The company’s award-winning vehicle compliance
system is designed for all types of fleets and is
complete with digitised vehicle defect reporting
allowing drivers to carry out and report on their
vehicle checks directly from their smartphone.
Compatible with iOS and Android systems, its app
features an intuitive, user-friendly interface, allowing
drivers to conduct vehicle walk-around checks with
ease. The reporting portal also enables users to access
detailed maintenance reports and view comprehensive
insights for all their vehicles in one convenient
location. Full integration with the DVSA Earned
Recognition Scheme, means users can also record
KPIs, as well as regularly share their reports directly
with the DVSA.
CheckedSafe also offers a driving license verification
service. Using innovative Optical Character
Recognition technology, with an accuracy rate of over
95%, CheckedSafe is able to verify licences directly
with the DVLA to confirm licence types and any
endorsements within seconds.
Drivers can simply log in to the app and submit
a driving license check, without the need to be
physically present. Licence verification is integrated
into CheckedSafe’s vehicle compliance platform and
this straightforward setup allows users to perform
checks quickly and efficiently, ensuring compliance
without hassle.
The company’s LoneWorking App allows users to
stay connected with their solo workers, no matter
where they’re located. The app is designed to
proactively protect workers and enables quick
response in emergencies. Critical information,
including the worker’s current location and contact
details, is sent instantly allowing users to verify the
alert and send help directly if necessary.
Workers can also confirm their welfare status
independently and the app’s motion-sensor feature
can detect if a lone worker has been inactive for
an extended period or has experienced a fall. This
customisable feature offers a critical safety net for
workers in high-risk situations.
CheckedSafe also offers dynamic risk assessments.
Its real-time smartphone app, designed for on-site,
actionable insights, can easily identify hazards,
assess risk, take action and review reports. Immediate
notifications and group messaging ensures teams
are always informed, allowing for quick action to
mitigate risks.
All data is securely stored and becomes tamper-proof
once submitted, guaranteeing reliability, compliance
and security. CheckedSafe’s close-call feature also
allows team members to report near-misses directly
through the app. Promoting safety awareness and
helping to identify training opportunities for continuous
improvement.
Compared to competitors CheckedSafe’s unique
edge comes from its tiered pricing system. Users
can customise the service they get from CheckedSafe.
Only paying for what they use. For example, the
company’s famed vehicle compliance service costs
only £1 per vehicle, per week; meaning clients can
scale effectively, ensuring their compliance in line
with their growth.
For its licence checking, CheckedSafe’s celebrated
simplicity is further bolstered by its pricing structure.
Usually, clients can expect to pay set up fees,
management costs and ‘credits’ for license checks,
but CheckedSafe is a pay as you go subscription
model meaning users only pay for what they need.
This tiered system combined with the company’s focus
on simplicity is paying off for CheckedSafe. Thousands
of companies streamline their safety and compliance
processes through its software and over 150,000
individual users throughout the UK and Europe rely
on the company’s compliance solutions every day.
CheckedSafe continues to expand and innovate its
offering in the market. Recently the company launched
its GB Domestic Hours App, the only company in the
UK to digitise this service. The new app allows users
to easily comply with GB Domestic Hours legislation
and the Working Time Directive by simplifying
record-keeping with CheckedSafe’s innovative,
digital working hours log system.
As CheckedSafe looks to the future it plans to continue
growth via innovation. The company releases three,
free weekly updates and hopes to build on this,
improving its services and providing further value
to clients.
CheckedSafe’s dedication to simplicity means users
can trust in its transparent and legitimate records of
activity. With over one billion individual data points
collected since CheckedSafe launched, the company
has built a reputation for precise and reliable
compliance data, which is helping businesses across
the UK reach their full potential and grow alongside
this innovative company.

Waterproofing, Fireproofing & Soundproofing
High-quality airtightness products at
unbeatable prices
ynergie is a wholesale distribution company,
Sproviding airtightness products into the construction
industry. With over 30 years of experience operating
in the construction sector, Synergie have built a
reputation for top quality products, attention to
detail and impressive customer service.
or solvents in construction or installation. This
sustainability also extends to the overall buildings
CO 2
emissions, as increased airtightness in
buildings helps to lower energy usage and
supports the building in attaining good Building
Energy Rating (BER).
The company offers a comprehensive range of wind
tightness membranes, airtight membranes, airtight tapes,
sealants and other products for achieving optimum
rain tightness, wind tightness and airtightness results.
All its products are manufactured in Germany to the
highest standards by manufacturers with over 20 years
of experience in the development of breathable roofing
membranes, airtightness membranes, airtightness
window and connection tape, adhesives and primer.
Especially celebrated is the company’s Synergie Sd
Variable Airtightness Membrane and Vapour Control
Layer. This product has the ability to change its water
vapour performance (SD value). The membrane
becomes more diffusion open depending on the
relative humidity (RH) in the area. In the colder,
winter months, the micropores of the membrane stay
diffusion tight, preventing vapour from the warm
interior of the building diffusing into the timber roof
or wall structure, or insulated layer. However, in the
summer months, the micropores of the membrane
open, allowing any vapour or moisture trapped in the
insulated material to escape back into the building
interior and ventilate naturally. In the long run, over
a few years, this ability to act as a barrier in winter
and a breathable membrane in summer, helps to
protect the building from structural damage caused
by excessive moisture trapped in the building fabric.
The Synergie Sd Variable membrane is ideally
suited to flat roof make-ups which are not adequately
ventilated or diffusion tight towards the outside.
The Sd Variable membrane is also suitable in new
buildings where excessive moisture accumulation has
occurred during the initial construction phase of the
building process where timber elements and thermal
insulation have suffered an unplanned wetting.
The Synergie airtightness system carries several
benefits for clients. Firstly the removal of draughts
helps to cut heating bills, prevents condensation and
protects and improves the performance of thermal
insulation. The effective use of Synergie products
also helps to protect against mould development and
allows ventilation systems to work more efficiently.
Synergie’s airtightness products are also
environmentally friendly. Using no harmful toxins
With these products being used extensively in both
residential and commercial construction projects,
the company carries a large range to cater for all
possible scenarios on a building project in traditional
masonry construction, timber frame construction,
steel frame construction and modular build.
Building companies of all sizes use Synergie to
achieve national building code standards and to
build energy efficient and passive buildings to the
highest of standards. All Synergie’s products are
built in line with European harmonised standards for
energy saving; as well as carry CE Markings, where
required, under the Construction Products Regulation.
Beyond providing the highest quality products,
certified across Europe; Synergie has also garnered
a reputation for impeccable customer service. Its
long tenure in the industry means the company has
a wealth of experience with a variety of different
products and the projects they could be used in.
Utilising this bank of knowledge allows Syngerie to
offer bespoke advice to clients and point them in the
right direction when it comes to airtightness.

Alarm Systems Company of Choice
Smarter safety, simplified: Fircroft Technologies’
ASYRA Wireless Lockdown Alarm System
ith more than 30 years of expertise in fire and
Wsafety signalling, Fircroft Technologies Ltd has
established itself as a UK leader in the design and
manufacture of audible and visual alarm systems.
Based in South Wales, the company delivers both its
own branded solutions and bespoke OEM designs,
combining innovation, reliability, and sustainability in
every product it produces.
In a world where safety demands
are evolving faster than ever,
Fircroft Technologies is
meeting the challenge headon
with a new generation of
wireless alarm solutions.
At the heart of Fircroft’s
reputation is its commitment
to technical excellence. Its
products are designed and
manufactured to the highest
standards, with many certified
to EN54 specifications for fire
safety. Their flagship innovation, the
ASYRA Wireless System, demonstrates
this expertise in action – a dual-channel,
high-integrity wireless alarm platform that provides
dedicated lockdown, fire, and industrial safety
solutions without the need for cabling or expensive
control panels. The ASYRA Wireless System, is
setting new standards for lockdown and emergency
alert applications for construction sites and
temporary buildings.
Dedicated Lockdown Security –
Without the complexity
At the heart of Fircroft’s current focus is the
Lockdown Alarm version of the ASYRA Wireless
System – a dedicated solution purpose-built for
rapid, secure lockdown signalling. Unlike systems
that rely on existing infrastructure, ASYRA operates
as a standalone network, making it fully resilient,
hacker-proof, and independent from other building
systems. Its wireless design means there’s no
need for cabling, enabling installation over a single
weekend – a huge advantage for live sites such as
schools or operational facilities where disruption
must be minimised. The result is a reliable, easy-todeploy
system that enhances on-site safety without
compromise.
Performance and sustainability hand in hand
ASYRA’s high-output signalling technology allows
large areas to be covered with fewer devices,
cutting material use and reducing
environmental impact. Systems can
scale from just two devices to 254
units, with coverage spanning up
to 2km in diameter – ideal for
large campuses, multibuilding
sites, and
open construction
environments.
Seamlessly
linking
systems
together can
provide even
larger system
solutions.
Powered by standard AA and
CR123 batteries with lifespans
of up to four years, the system is
operated by using a mobile phone app
allowing for easy detailed reporting and
routine status monitoring. This streamlined
approach delivers significant savings in both
cost and maintenance, without sacrificing reliability
or system integrity.
Monitoring, integration and control made simple
ASYRA’s extensive fault monitoring ensures
continuous system oversight, offering real-time
reassurance that your network is always fully
operational. Thanks to universal I/O modules, the
system can be easily integrated with existing fire
or security systems if required – providing flexible
options for both standalone and hybrid applications.
For even greater convenience, the ASYRA Android
App allows users to check system status and review
event logs directly from a smartphone, eliminating
the need for expensive control panels and offering a
user-friendly interface for maintenance teams.
A complete wireless safety platform
The full ASYRA Wireless product range includes
Manual Call Points, Detectors, I/O and Fault Modules,
Sounders, and Visual Alarm Devices (VADs) – all
designed to work seamlessly together within one
cohesive system. Beyond lockdown protection,
ASYRA also supports emergency and medical alert
functions, ensuring rapid communication in any
critical situation.
Partnering for safer sites
Fircroft Technologies understands that every site
is different. That’s why they encourage customers
to discuss their specific requirements directly –
whether for a full turnkey installation or a project
managed through an approved local contractor.
Fircroft’s team provides full technical
support, ensuring the same high
standards of reliability
and performance regardless
of who installs the system.
By combining British
manufacturing quality,
cutting-edge wireless
technology, and
decades of specialist
expertise, Fircroft
Technologies continues
to set new standards in
safety system design –
making workplaces, schools,
and public spaces safer,
smarter, and more sustainable.

SIMONBOX: Revolutionising
electrical installations
he SIMONBOX IP66 exemplifies
Toutstanding quality and
innovation, setting a new standard
in the industry by addressing the
design challenge of making a
waterproof floor outlet which is easy
to access and easy to use.
Designed for use in hard floor
areas which require occasional
power, data connection, and an IP
protection rating, the SIMONBOX
IP66 plays a significant role in the
advancement of electrical solutions.
For example, its ease of use is
remarkable. There are no lids to
unscrew or extra parts to assemble.
Users simply pop open the lid using
the standard slide or the Allen key
security mechanism. Inside, the
outlet can be fitted with either a
UK 13amp or 5amp socket. When
in use, the outlet meets the IP20
standard, and when closed, it
achieves IP66 protection.
The SIMONBOX is available in
two finishes: brushed stainless steel
and brass. Users have the option
of selecting waterproof sockets,
with choices for a flush floor or a
trimmed box finish. Depending on
the floor type, there are two back
box options: one for screed floors
and another for raised or suspended
floors.
When installed in a concrete floor,
the SIMONBOX is designed to sit
flush with the surrounding surface.
For raised floor installations,
commonly used in decking projects,
the SIMONBOX sits slightly elevated
to prevent water pooling around
it. Internally, the back box features
a self-drain opening for added
protection.
CE and UKCA certified, find
SIMONBOX available via your
local electrical wholesaler or

releases a whopping 250% less carbon dioxide.
We turn this recycled plastic into aesthetically
pleasing, useful products, for the general public,
construction companies, local authorities, educational
institutions and hospitals all over the world.
All our products are recycled as well as being
recyclable.
This is the ideal of recycling. It’s a closed loop.
All the plastic products we use as consumers should
be capable of recycling indefinitely making for a
sustainable future for our children and a cleaner less
toxic environment.
In some cases we also reuse rather than recycle.
For example, we have a Recycled Plastic
Compost Tumbler/Compost Bin – appropriately
named, ‘The Compost Creator.’ For this we reuse
a food grade plastic drum previously used to transport
food products.
Reuse is vastly superior to simply recycling
There is no significant consumption of energy, as there
is no manufacturing process involving heavy use of
energy. We just drill a few holes in the
drum and clean it up as best we can.
Both recycling plastic as well as
reusing it keeps large amounts of plastic waste out of
expensive and now difficult to find landfill.
This results in a lower carbon footprint and reduced
human contribution to global warming and climate
change.
Recycled Mixed Plastic Lumber, recycled HDPE and
recycled polystyrene (which is the primary waste
plastic in our recycled plastic wood or recycled plastic
timber) are what we make all our products out of.
These, often brightly coloured, Recycled plastic
products are extremely durable and attractive.
They will maintain their appearance for many years
to come.
Our highly acclaimed Compost Tumbler, or
Compost Bin, Raised Beds, Garden Planters,
2 and 3 Seater Garden Benches, Sports
Benches, Play Dens, and other Outdoor
Classroom products are not flimsy and light, but
robust and solid enough not to blow away in a gale.
If you would like to pay us a
visit you will be very welcome.
Our manufacturing unit is
in Burnley, Lancashire. We
deliver nationwide, but you
may be nearby and can pop
in to see us. Best to call
01282 861325 first though.
We’re close enough for a visit
if you are in Nelson, Foulridge,

Blackburn, Keighley, Newchurch, Preston, Rochdale,
Huddersfield, Shipley, Dewsbury, Castleford,
Harrogate, Wakefield, Darwen, Leyland, Halifax,
Bacup, Hebden Bridge, Barnoldswick, and West
Yorkshire. Manchester or Bolton are a stone’s throw
away. Come and see our showroom and view these
elegant recycled plastic products close up.
Our plastic wood will amaze you. This recycled
plastic looks and feels like genuine wood but is
superior in design and quality to traditional wood
lumber or timber products.

Manufacturing
75 years of W J Horrod Ltd
his year, W J Horrod Ltd, an award-winning,
Tfamily-owned business, proudly celebrates 75
years!
Founded in 1950 by brothers William John and
Alex Horrod, W J Horrod Ltd began as a repair
service, leveraging their military engineering
experience. It quickly evolved into a leading
manufacturer of asphalt and bitumen equipment,
as well as civil engineering and highway
maintenance machinery.
Incorporated in 1961, the company was named
after their father William John Horrod Snr, whose
financial support made it possible. Over the years,
it remained a family business, with younger brothers
and later generations taking the helm. Today,
second-generation directors Kim and Terry run the
company, with third-generation apprenticing to
carry on the legacy.
For 75 years, W J Horrod Ltd has been at the
forefront of manufacturing equipment for industrial
solutions. Based in London, the company is widely
recognised as the industry leader
in safety and efficiency.
Horrods thrive on
challenges: continually
developing, designing,
and testing new products
to ensure customers have
the very best machinery
and plant for each project.
Over the years, Horrods has
worked across mainly the ‘building’
industry, but its expertise is not strictly
limited to it. The company has provided
all manner of products for manual
handling, with clients ranging from
the Royal Opera House, to the
QEII Conference centre and
Billingsgate Market. Their
product range is extensive,
and includes everything from
the SwiftMelt Mastic asphalt
mixer to Hotboxes, Hot
Air Rubber
Materials
melters, and
thermoplastic pre
heaters (whiteliners.)
Always at the forefront
of safety, quality and
efficiency, Horrods’
range of services also
include operator training, a
hire service for many
of its products,
consultation
on heating/
decanting of
new materials,
research &
development for
problem solving,
health & safety,
and the ability to collaborate
with Health & Safety Executives.
Terry Horrod Snr truly championed health & safety
and advised HSE on good practices until the early
2000’s. Safety continues to be the watch
word at Horrods today, as many of the
larger products have moving parts using
LPG Propane Gas or electric elements,
and are heating vessels that
produce hot materials.
Working alongside AYM,
Horrods takes safeguarding
very seriously, prioritising safety
alongside quality. Every product
is crafted using the highestquality
components and undergoes
a rigorous design process, including
longevity testing. Additionally, they ensure that
products are easy to service and monitor once
they leave the workshop.

Service Sealing Solutions Ltd –
suppliers of DOYMA products
Service Sealing Solutions Ltd are the sole UK distributor of DOYMA
products. Wherever services are installed through walls, ceilings or
floors, penetrating water may cause damage to buildings. Lack of
attention to the points of entry of pipes and cables into the building
can have serious results: damp cellars, equipment damaged by
water ingress and high repair costs. Service sealing systems ensure
professional and perfect pipe sealing, thus presenting excellent
preventative measures against structural damage. The very best in
German engineering is used to seal penetration points to the wall
to permanently prevent any infiltration of gases and water into the
building, and the duct sealing systems are guaranteed for 25 years.
Service Sealing Solutions supply the full range of products to suit all
situations for power cables, communication cables, pipes and ducts,
and specialising in sealing district heating pipes.
