(8/10/21) Office Lighting

2021 has seen major building work being undertaken at Tekeurope’s headquarters in Newton Abbot. The work began back in March over the course of 2 weekends with the fitting of an entirely new roof. This paved the way for the installation of solar panels in July, with 90% of the electricity generated from the array now being utilised towards the company’s energy usage.

The final stage of the work involves the installation of a new ceiling in the office area and LED lighting in both the office and the warehouse. LED lighting throughout the building offers an efficient lighting solution that will lower the company’s energy consumption.

The work in the office is now complete with both the ceiling and lighting in place. The work was undertaken by local firms with Tom Manely Suspended Ceilings providing the ceiling and Southall Electrical the lights.

(13/1/22) Warehouse Lighting 

During the past week the installation of LED lighting in the warehouse has been completed. The new setup is considerably more energy efficient than the fittings it replaced, in line with the objective in the company’s environmental plan of reducing its energy usage.

Despite their increased efficiency the new lights provide noticeably more light than the older setup. In addition they feature movement sensors so are only in use when there is activity in the immediate vicinity. They also feature dimmer settings and can produce different colours including warmer more natural coloured light.

(16/2/22) Electric Car Charging Points

All of Tekeurope’s cars are now electric and this week new charging points were installed at the front of the building. Powered by the recently installed solar panels on the roof they allow the cars to be charged during the working day. The charging points are operable via a phone app, allowing users to be advised when charging is complete and to switch them off remotely.

(01/4/22) Training Room

Next in the scheduled building work was the completion of a new training and conference room. The room, located next to the office, features a large touch screen display for video calling and presentations. At the side are laptop docking stations and network access points for any online training courses.

(16/9/22) New CCTV Cameras

September saw the installation of a new camera system. The cameras cover both the interior and exterior of the building with the system capable of recording 4K video.
