Director of his family business, Security Access Systems, Martin Keelagher, has been named as the new Chairman of DHF's (Door & Hardware Federation) ‘Automated Gate Group’. Martin’s new position was confirmed this month by DHF’s CEO, Bob Perry.
The Automated Gate Group was formed in 2009 in response to requests from the Health and Safety Executive. The government safety organisation sought an industry-wide trade body that would develop higher standards of safety for automated gates, following a number of fatal accidents since 2007. The group represents manufacturers, suppliers, installers and maintainers of automated gates, who demonstrate their credentials of quality, safety and adherence to the high technical standards required.
