The system installed at the company’s Liverpool offices uses Bewator Cotag hands-free tag readers throughout, and is linked to the HQ in London via a high-speed network connection.
Raysil had provided security to Rathbones’ London offices. It was invited to tender at the Liverpool subsidiary offices, which already had an anti-passback system with 14 access points, but further doors needed to be added, and the London and Liverpool systems integrated so staff would only need one access tag.
Because the Rathbone offices are in the Port of Liverpool Building, which is Grade I listed, all fittings, including the tag reader installations, had to conform to strict requirements regarding appearance. So special transom bars in polished brass to match the existing door furniture were used, complemented by brass exit switches.
The system was based on Bewator’s Granta system. Raysil’s Pete Stewart said: “Rathbones is so pleased with the new installations that it has awarded us a contract to look after CCTV and intruder detection.”
