SECURITY AND POLICING EXHIBITION – FARNBOROUGH 12 – 14 MARCH 2024

Strategic Effect will be visiting the Security and Policing Home Office event on Tuesday 12 March 2024.

An excellent first day at the Security and Policing Home Office Event in Farnborough, usefully engaging with 8 different companies.

Building on considerable success at the Security & Policing Exhibition, Strategic Effect is assisting ESL in their bid to “Innovate UK”. ESL has developed “EMCare”, a technical solution to closely monitor the health of residents in care facilities and those in domiciliary care, allowing more distancing for the staff and nurses who visit, whilst triggering immediate medical assistance at an early stage in order to save life.

Strategic Effect and ESL have proposed a hi tech solution to meet the needs of tracking and crisis management for the Mid and South West Wales Fire Service. The proposal has an application across all fire & rescue services and other first responders, enabling better situational awareness and command at all levels.

Strategic Effect Ltd. is working with ESL Space & Defence to provide the UK Defence Accelerator with a solution for tracking and accounting for personnel embarked on the Royal Navy’s Queen Elizabeth Class carriers.

Paul Edwards ran the length of the Hadrian’s Wall Trail (93 miles/150 Km GPS recorded) in the UK to raise funds urgently needed by the Museum of Army Flying (Charity number 297897).  Paul’s son ran with him and his two daughters operated a support vehicle kindly provided by Westover Jaguar Land Rover (now Hendys).

The run took place 10-13 September 2018 and donations totalled £6,000 helping to enable the Museum to redevelop and rebrand as the Army Flying Museum (AFM) from 01 April 2019.
