more professional industry is
Brian Mcaleer and Quinton
Lenagan, directors of
Eclectic Security. The pair
has been responsible for
the introduction of a series
of accredited professional
training qualifications, aimed
at giving Locksmiths and
other interested parties the
opportunity to add additional
skills.
Brian spoke to Locksmith
Journal to explain how he
and his partner utilised
their military background
experience to established
Eclectic Security, one of the
only training and development
companies set up to offer
a nationally recognised
specialist PVCu maintenance
and repair course.
“After leaving the army, I
trained as a Locksmith and set
up business in and around the
Nottinghamshire area. Times
were good, but our market is
highly competitive and there
is always a need to grow your
business to offer customers
the best possible service.
“Recognising this,
Ouinton and myself set up
a partnership to establish a
business where we could offer
Locksmiths the chance to offer
their customers more than
just the standard Locksmith
services.
“Establishing Eclectic
Security was the first step
to creating a professional
training and consultancy
to give Locksmiths the
opportunity to enhance
their skills, and other
interested individuals to gain
a recognised qualification
allowing them to be confident
to offer home and business
owners maintenance and
repair services on PVCu
products.”
The five day intense
specialised PVCu maintenance
and repair course offers an
understanding of PVCu door
and window mechanisms and
the profiles in which they may
be housed.
Covering mainly practical
hands-on activities, the
course looks at assessing and
carrying out work on internal
and external beading, toeing
and heeling, resetting keeps,
identifying and measuring
mechanisms, stripping and
repairing tilt and turn and
tilt and slide mechanisms,
glazing and deglazing, hinge
replacements , alongside
many other PVCu competent
activities to achieve a NFCE
Level 3 accreditation.
“The courses are run with
a maximum of six delegates
per course, allowing for close
monitoring of individual skills
and ensuring the delegates
are getting the best overall
attention. We are happy to
hear from any individual
or company who wish to
enhance their skills.
