As our businesses continue to develop and grow, we felt that our domestic customers would be better served by a dedicated domestic team, with lower overheads and a more localised engineering team. So Advanced Alarms will now go back to its roots and provide this service exclusively. Abatis will continue to trade normally offering fire and security solutions to the homes and businesses throughout the Lincolnshire counties and immediately surrounding areas.
We are certain that by doing this, we can give both better service and better value to you, our much valued customers.
Customers of both companies need do nothing to ensure continued service from us and we will continue to contact you in the same way, and all customers will be contacted by letter in the coming days.
EXCITING NEWS FROM ABATIS COMING SOON
August 2010
It's over 7 years since Abatis Solutions was formed. Since then we've changed our name to better reflect the sort of services we provide, but not a lot else has changed with our logo and identity.
We know that we've got one of those names that's not easy to say. But we've come to love our little name, and gives us a warm fuzzy feeling whenever someone mispronounces it or asks us what "Abatis" means.
We are constantly listening to our customers, and as a result of continuing feedback, including responses from questionnaires sent to all of our customers, Abatis is undergoing a massive overhaul. We're excited about these changes and hope you will be too, so watch this space for the latest news from Abatis Fire & Security.
