This is why Argyll has developed Communicare Options to satisfy five key principals: • Risk Management • Location Management • Solution Management • Incident Management • Compliance Management

New Arc Open For Business

The ’state of the art’ Category2 Argyll Alarm Receiving Centre is now open and operational. Argyll is the UK’s leading provider of 24 hour remote monitoring solutions providing services aimed at individuals who, by the nature of their work or personal situation, may be vulnerable and placed at risk. Argyll’s ARC is specifically designed to meet both current and future standards. The centre is the only ARC within the UK specifically dedicated to monitoring vulnerable individuals at risk. The building was constructed by the Rok Group under HIE’s Framework Contract with project management being provided by Synergie (Scotland) Ltd. The building was one of a number of capital projects brought forward by HIE in response to the current economic climate. Douglas Cowan, area manager for HIE, said: “We are delighted to have been able to help Argyll secure a facility in the area that is suitable for the new legislation. The business is a vital employer in Dunoon and we look forward to working with them more closely in the future.” Managing Director, Tom Morton, for Argyll, said: “This ARC was a drawing in July 2008. I am extremely proud of this facility and full of admiration of the significant effort shown by all those team members from HIE, ROK, the Local Authority, professional advisors, contractors and particularly our own managers and staff that have co-ordinated and overcome obstacles to deliver a superb facility that meets the current and foreseeable future business and industry requirements.” Argyll currently supports over 200 discrete clients with duty of care responsibility for over 20,000 subscribers. The company continuously invests in research and development and deploys the most robust and advanced risk monitoring technology.
