Relationship Is Key For Rolec's Inside And Out Solution
 Access control and a monitored CCTV system combined with an integrated intruder alarm system is helping to protect valued components at a potentially vulnerable site for Rolec Services, a world leader in electrical connection equipment.
And the system that's been designed and installed by GB Security has proved to be cost-effective as well as proving a match for all the security issues at the new build site.
 Rolec Services has specialist products for different sectors. Their work in the marine sector has found the company installing their equipment at attention grabbing sites such as The Palm in Dubai and they have now won the contract for the 2012 Olympic marina.
