Trent and Dove Social Housing gains new security
Award-winning Mace Electrical has completed upgrading security and protection systems at one of housing association Trent and Dove’s properties in Burton.
Trent and Dove, based in Burton and Uttoxeter, provides affordable housing for rent across East Staffordshire. Its mission statement is to ‘transform homes, lives and neighbourhoods’.
Mace won this competitive tender for the design and installation of CCTV systems, combined with the latest high-security lighting for 8 flats in Short Street in the town.
The flats are located above Short Street convenience store, a local advice and training centre, a Chinese take-away and other retail premises. Mace also installed an upgraded access control system to offer enhanced security for the occupants of these flats.
Improving protection for the residents and to these properties is important to the Housing Association which provides homes for families, for younger people, for older people and for those with special needs. Trent and Dove also works with East Staffordshire Borough Council to provide quality advice and services to homeless and vulnerable people.
“We have been working on home improvements for individual customers since we started the business; and for several years, Mace has been contributing to the improvement of homes for residents in Burton”, said Mace MD, Simon Chapman.
“Carrying out these electrical works for the Association marks another chapter in the development of services to local businesses and organisations”, he added.
Trent and Dove Housing is one of only 46 organisations in the region recognised in the 2010 Best Companies Accreditation following the ‘Best Companies to Work For’ survey.
Mace has won two leading awards from the Birmingham Post and from the Burton Mail for its Corporate Social Responsibility activities and its related programmes for the local community that includes social housing and protection for the vulnerable and elderly with its CARE telephone system, in-conjunction with Staffordshire Police, and now installed in almost 300 homes.
The Judges of the Birmingham Post Corporate Social Responsibility Award, led by Editor Alan Thorne, pointed out that Mace’s ‘commitment to CSR is very, very real’. The entry showed that Mace’s CSR ‘is embedded at the core of what the company is all about’.
