The Yeovil-based Garage door manufacturer employs 80 people and the longest serving member of staff has currently been working with the company for 50 years. Simon Hipgrave, managing director of Garador says he is extremely proud that the company is made up of such a hard-working and loyal team. Simon comments: “As a major local employer it is important to us that we look after our staff and with the average member of the team staying with us for 18 years - we must be doing something right!” “Once a member of staff has been with us for 25 years, they are awarded with a £250 cash bonus to thank them for their loyalty to the company. It doesn’t seem that our team need much encouragement to stay with us though: Our longest serving member of staff in the factory has been with us for nearly 42 years whilst on the management side of the business, one member of the team has been with us for half a decade!” Garador has recently extended its factory in Yeovil, to make it the most modern of its kind in Europe.

All Garador products are developed and manufactured at the factory in Yeovil, where the specialist engineering employed ensures they are amongst the finest garage doors available.

GARADOR ON THE TIP OF FINGERPRINT TECHNOLOGY Garador is proud to announce the launch of a new range of BiSecur Accessories, including a state-of-the-art fingerprint scanner for the ultimate in technologically-advanced remote operation. The BiSecur finger sensor allows operators to open automatic garage doors and entrance gates without the hassle and expense of additional handheld transmitters. Simon Hipgrave, managing director of Garador comments: “As with all of our BiSecur products, the fingerprint scanner uses bi-directional radio signals making it more secure as it transmits on an ultra-high frequency band - 868MHz. Using the latest in biometric technology, the fingerprint scanner can learn up to 12 fingerprints to authorise the opening of the garage door.” The newly developed, BiSecur encryption protocol in the latest range of accessories, produces an ultra-secure radio signal which cannot be tampered with or intercepted. Simon continues: “Our fingerprint scanner is one of the most innovative BiSecur accessories and we have also just released two new remote BiSecur handsets. The one-button handset is already proving popular with an elderly audience due to ease-of-use, whilst our four-button handset can be programmed for a variety of extra tasks, making it ideal for those looking for a flexible solution.” Both the one and four button handheld transmitters are available in a black lacquer finish and can easily fit in your pocket, making them a stylish and convenient solution for remote garage door operation. The radio finger-scan FFL12 sends a specific radio code to open and close garage doors or entrance gates. The unit is very easy to fit and requires a 230V AC mains electricity supply and a two core low voltage cable for the impulse connection to the operator. The fingerprint scanner from Garador starts from just £208. The one button handset retails at £52 and the four button version, for £54. The BiSecur accessories are sold separately to the operator unit. For more information, please visit www.garador.co.uk or call 01935 443705.
