C-TEC reports “impressive” turnout for lockdown and accessibility CPD
09 November 2026
THE FREE Continuing Professional Development (CPD) event organised by C-TEC proved to be a huge success with delegates from schools, colleges, councils and specialist fire businesses gathering at the company’s manufacturing facility in Wigan on 4 November.

Worth four hours of CPD points, the event covered lockdown procedures, low-cost fire system upgrades and Equality Act compliance through three seminars
Lockdown Alert!
*An overview of Martyn’s Law: the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025) – What need to know, the solutions available and how to comply
Access All Areas
*Equality and accessibility-focused legislation in the UK, the solutions available and how to ensure compliance with the law
Want to upgrade your fire detection and alarm systems? We can save you thousands!
*How to upgrade an old fire safety system to a state-of-the-art addressable system capable of lockdown functionality, Internet connectivity, powerful false alarm reduction and more
In addition to the seminars, delegates enjoyed lunch and a tour of C-TEC’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. The day ended with a Q&A session featuring Andrew Foster, C-TEC’s managing director and a recognised expert when it comes to fire safety standards.
Andy Green, marketing director at C-TEC, commented: “We were delighted with the response to our Education Day. Feedback from delegates has been excellent. Many of them told us they now have a much clearer understanding of the legislation and practical, cost-effective ways in which to comply.”
Green added: “The factory tour and Andrew’s Q&A session were real highlights of the day. Given the level of interest, we will definitely be running more events like this one in the future.”
