Tech firm opens R&D facilities in Coventry

Meriden is now home to a new technology and training centre specialising in wireless fire detection and alarm systems in a let agreed through Leamington-based ehB Reeves.

The Cygnus TTC, located at Villiers Court, aims to promote innovation and deliver fire safety solutions.

Charles Markham, director and shareholder at Cygnus, said: “The Meriden location was chosen strategically due to its proximity to technological and academic resources, making it an ideal base for Cygnus’ research and development initiatives. The additional space to expand our training facilities also opens up new opportunities for installers to be supported by expert, in-depth training and ongoing first-class technical support.”

Oliver Shelley, a graduate surveyor at ehB Reeves, said: “We’re delighted that Cygnus has chosen 8 Villiers Court for its new technology and training centre. The facility on Meriden Business Park has excellent road, rail and air connections while the site itself provides open plan office accommodation, meeting rooms and training rooms, making it ideal for Cygnus.”
