You may believe that "it will never happen to me" but the sad facts are it is happening to people and businesses every day and everywhere and that's why the multi-billion pound market exists for insurance. If you believe in insurance you will already be covered for most types of loss but the items or documents "lost" cannot often be replaced and insurance is, therefore, incomplete protection. You should consider the following points to complete a simple audit of your needs to help you determine what extra protection you should consider:
• Do you have a secure cash/jewellery safe ? Don't let them get away with your
hard-earned cash - have peace of mind from as little as $300.
• Business owners often forget that they have a duty to protect their staff and family members - and what better way to do than installing a safe and putting up a notice that staff do not have access to the safe.
• Do you store your important documents in a fire safe? The loss of documents through fire results in almost half the companies that suffer a fire going out of business within six months, unable to complete a financial statement.
• Your assets may be insured but if the record of them is lost how will you persuade the insurance company to pay out? In fact can you remember who your insurers are and where you keep the policy?
• Do you store your valuable back up computer disk/CD in a Data / Fire Safe? Protecting computer media requires much more substantial protection to keep the temperature and humidity at a much lower level. This is because computer media is plastic based and melts at a much lower temperature than that at which paper starts to burn.
• Even the back-up copies you make and take home with you for security could be at risk. The theft of information can be just as damaging as the theft of possessions.
• Are your high value stocks and valuable items e.g. Phone cards stored in a secure place?
A small security safe or security cupboard could be the answer.
• There are many regulations covering the storage of hazardous substances and drugs.
Does your situation comply with the regulations?
An increasing number of commercial companies are finding it necessary to follow the current trend towards longer opening hours, resulting in a greater risk to staff, burglary of assets and cash hold-ups.

Every day a large number of businesses are experiencing enormous unnecessary expense caused by destruction of valuable computer data and company records due to fire or burglaries.
Is it about time that you assessed how many vital records are stored on your company's computer system? Did you know that temperatures as high as 52 degrees Centigrade as well as dust, smoke, water and excessive humidity could damage computers and particularly disks? Ordinary filing cabinets, fire safes , are not suitable for storage of computer media.
Considering what you would lose with this data, surely it is worth investing in a safe especially designed for the purpose of preserving valuable computer data in the event of fire? We will be happy to provide you with independent advice on the type of safe that would be most suited to your needs.
Everyday despite increased protection of domestic premises there is a significant increase in the number of burglaries and fire resulting in the loss of valuable and precious items.
Recently the cost of home safes have been reduced significantly and have become affordable equipment for all households. These safes can be used to protect jewellery, credit cards, cash, passports, computer disks, important documents such as marriage certificates, birth certificates and stamp collections.
We can provide independent advice on location and choice of domestic safes from our range of free-standing, under floor or built in wall safes.
