Green Impact Award
Early in 2019 Lifeline Alarm Systems along with other local Island Businesses committed to the Green Impact Project. Green Impact IW is an innovative partnership between the National Union of Students which has developed the Green Impact model over the last 11 years, as well as the Isle of Wight Chamber of Commerce, Isle of Wight College and Isle of Wight Council. It’s also sponsored by several Island businesses, and thanks to this support the 2-year pilot is free for all island businesses. The first ever Green Impact IW awards event was held at The Isle of Wight College. Here the achievements of the Islands’ business community in making the island a cleaner and greener place to live and work were recognised. The project has received national recognition, winning an Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA) Sustainability Impact Award in the Consultancy and Collaboration category in September 2019. Over 65 Island businesses took part in the first year of the pilot, from small family businesses like Love Running, to Island giants Liz Earle. Collectively participants took an impressive 1159 greening actions! Lifeline were one of just five businesses to be awarded Silver Accreditation. Chanelle Sulik, Lifeline’s Environmental Champion, accepted […]
New Life into Lifeline Offices
The Island Security Centre, home of Lifeline Alarms & Security Services recently underwent a major facelift. Well known as a landmark to many, the building located on the Riverway Industrial Estate roundabout Newport has been home to the Lifeline team for over twenty years. Gone is the mid 1970’s brick face and in comes a modern anthracite finish cladding. Planning for the improvements started early in 2019, and now completed bring the outside of the building to the same high standard as inside; which includes a suite of glass walled offices, customers lounge and Directors suite. Polished marine grade stainless steel signage completes the exterior and also reflects the character of Lifeline’s bell boxes which are a prominent and reassuring feature to many homes and businesses across the Island. Savannah Lee, Marketing Manager at Lifeline comments: “As the premier fire & security provider on the Island it is important that our facilities reflect our enviable position as a progressive and forward thinking business. The outside of the building now reflects a more inviting, modern, professional and extremely appealing experience to customers – reflecting our high standards and ethics as a business together with our commitment to Island homes and business […]
New community access defibrillator installed
A new community access defibrillator has been installed at Lifeline Fire & Security outside of their offices at Riverway, Newport by Lifeline and Medina Foodservice, with support from Buywise and Premier Ford. This now makes it possible for even more people to respond to a medical emergency around the Riverway area where a defibrillator is required and part of an increasing-network of Defibrillators across the Island. Over 30,000 people suffer from sudden cardiac arrest at home or in public places, in the UK each year. If a defibrillator is used and CPR is performed within 3 to 5 minutes, the chances of survival are dramatically increased from 6% to 74%. These shocking statistics led Jean Lee, Director of Lifeline and Steve Ross, managing Director of Medina Foodservice to reach out to Buywise and Premier Ford, to help provide towards the funding for the new unit. Jean comments: “Having access to a defibrillator can help to improve survival outcomes for sudden cardiac arrest, so I felt that it was our social responsibility to provide a defibrillator for the local community and base this at Lifeline.” To further support the new defibrillator, Cindy Newnham & Ann Goldsmith of Lifeline have also attended […]
