East Yorkshire manufacturer eyes Asian Pacific market following government contract

Yorkshire manufacturer Heald looks to grow its Australian footprint after securing a government facility in Melbourne with its sliding bollard product.

Based in Hornsea in East Yorkshire, the manufacturer of hostile vehicle mitigation system was chosen by the Australian government for the tightening of security measures for the high-profile facility following a review.

Partnered with Australian critical infrastructure firm GK Solutions, Heald installed its Matador sliding bollard as part of a four bollard system to reduce damage and protect the area from potential vehicle attacks, a heightened threat identified in the security review.

Gavin Queit, director of GK Solution, commented: “We are proud of our partnership with Heald, and once again, Heald has delivered outstanding products for an iconic Australia location.”

Debbie Heald MBE of Heald added: “We are delighted to have been able to provide GK Solutions and the Australian government with an innovative solution to meet their needs in securing this prime location.

“Once again, it has been a pleasure to work alongside our Australian distribution partner, and we look forward to growing our footprint in the Australian and Asian Pacific marketing.”
