Tynetec, supporting club,
country and next, the world!
Northumberland based, electronic design
and manufacturing company Tynetec are
proud supporters of their local football team,
Blyth Spartans but that’s not where their
community support ends.
More than 90% of people in the UK say
they want to live independently in their own
homes for as long as they possibly can.
That means that should they become ill,
vulnerable or frail they often have to rely
on nursing or residential care, however
with a personal telecare alarm designed by
Tynetec, this could become a thing of the
past.
All Tynetec products are designed and
manufactured in the North East of England
and are currently being supplied to
hundreds of local authorities and housing
associations across the UK and beyond.
The personal alarm unit simply plugs into
a telephone line and is linked through to a
local monitoring or response service. With
cutting edge design and ergonomics to
match, the product blends seamlessly into
the background, preventing it from standing
out as a badge of need. The black and
silver, personal pendant design delivers
a more favourable and wearable solution
unlike the big red buttons of years gone by.

Building on its success
As a successful business with over 35
years’ experience in the world of assisted
living, the company was recently acquired
by the French company Legrand, a global
specialist in digital building infrastructures
with operations in over 80 countries around
the world. With the backing and support of
such a huge organisation, Tynetec believe
they can not only make a difference to those
in their own community but can enhance
people’s lives all over the world
