The firm, which is the fastest growing supplier of both IP and traditional security products in Scotland, aims to increase turnover to ￡4million with the opening of a new base in Altens.  As business develops, the company aims to recruit further staff in 2008 to add to the Aberdeen team.

Tait Security supplies an extensive range of equipment including CCTV, intruder detection, fire alarm systems and access control solutions, as well as structured cabling, a full range of data cabinets and network testing equipment.  Already an established business in the central belt, the Tait Group has a turnover exceeding ￡5million.  The group has ambitions to increase turnover to ￡9million by 2010. 

Michael Tait, managing director, Tait Group, said, “We are delighted to continue our national expansion with the opening of our facility in Aberdeen -- we feel it is essential for us to have a presence in the city so we can tap into the fast growing market in the oil capital of Europe.  We aim to target security installers, structured cabling installation firms, electrical contractors and facilities management companies.  I am looking forward to the next stage of growth that Aberdeen offers.”

With the British Chamber of Commerce reporting that 75% of business owners are concerned about security, Tait Security will provide innovative security solutions with a range of over 4,000 products.  It aims to take advantage of the projected growth in the security sector the company aims to expand further, with more offices in the pipeline and a resultant increase in staff numbers.

Tait Group, which also includes Tait Networks, Tait Audio Visual and Tait Components, supplies an extensive range of products to a wide portfolio of clients including Arthur McKay, FES, and Carillion as well as Universities, many Government departments and large blue chip organisations.  The business was founded in 1978 by Tait’s father as a supplier of TV components.  The group has experienced rapid growth in the past few years with Tait Security being founded in 2007.
