Kentec welcomes Fortus Group Holdings into Authorised Distributor scheme

The KAD scheme is a global network of specialists, experts and trained fire alarm distribution companies recognised for their high levels of Kentec product knowledge. All those organisations involved provide a full range of Kentec systems to suit all applications and building types.

This exclusive network of distributors has been carefully selected to make certain that installers and end users alike receive expertly specified goods. In tandem, local stock holding ensures fast delivery and supply of products.

Fortus recently doubled its size following the simultaneous acquisition of Enterprise Security Distribution, a leading UK-based distributor, and RE:SURE Intelligence, the remote CCTV monitoring specialist.

Sammy Steel, head of UK sales at Kentec, commented: “With such a significant footprint across the UK and Ireland, Fortus is a business that’s looking to grow. Our goal is to make our distributors and installers’ lives easier through supporting their sales cycle. The training and support delivered through the scheme achieves just that. We feel that Fortus Group Holdings is an important new addition to the scheme.”

Mark Massie, managing director for the UK at Fortus, responded: “Being accepted into the KAD scheme is further evidence of the business’ commitment to its customers. Our KAD status shows our customers that we have the product knowledge and expertise to work with the most sophisticated Kentec Electronics systems, and also that we value furthering professionalism in the industry through increased training.”

Fortus is the largest privately owned B2B security supply chain company in the UK and Ireland, specialising in CCTV, intruder alarms and fire safety systems. Its expertise covers tailored solutions, project management and support for installation business of all sizes.
