CCTV firm sets sights on growth with £150,000 investment

A Sheffield company which provides CCTV and security systems to hundreds of industrial and commercial sites throughout the UK has secured £150,000 funding to help it expand.

Vision CCTV specialises in the design, installation and maintenance of CCTV, monitoring and access control systems. Its systems protect many of the country’s major landfill and recycling sites, brick factories, oil refineries and student accommodation blocks, and are used by manufacturers such as Premier Foods and Quorn Foods.

It will use the funding from from NPIF – Enterprise Ventures Debt Finance, part of the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund, to invest in further equipment for rental and to create a new design studio.

Vision CCTV employs seven staff in Sheffield and works with a network of subcontractors nationally.

Tim Ralston, who took over the business in 2007, said: “CCTV systems play an important role in ensuring site security, process management and health and safety at commercial sites. Most of our systems are now provided on a rental basis, which allows our clients to keep up to date with changes in technology. The funding will enable us to expand our stock of equipment and provide additional working capital to meet the growth in demand.”

Phil Cooper, investment manager with Enterprise Ventures, part of Mercia Technologies, said: “Vision CCTV is a good example of a small independent business which has established a track record for customer service and is successfully competing with the big players in the market. The funding will allow it to continue its expansion.”
