With the legislation re: RHOS and WEEE coming into force from July 2006 an assessment of the current products confirms that the best course of action is to withdraw products that do not meet these requirements. The costs of meeting these requirements was so substantial that Millbank has taken the brave step of concentrating the time of its engineers on its future developments rather than re-building the old products to meet these legislative issues.
Millbank will fulfill its duty to all its end users with their present technologies and is therefore committing to support these systems for up to seven years.
Millbank's sales director, Neil Voce says: "We're very excited about the new technologies that are in the pipeline. We're working hard to successfully mitigate the problems of ceasing the current range, whilst we await the launch of our new step change in VA technology."
Millbank is currently involved with many landmark VA projects presently being undertaken in the UK including: the O2 Arena - the new 26,000 capacity stadium, which is under construction inside the Millennium Dome; The MK Dons stadium in Milton Keynes and Bishops Square, London - one of the largest current office developments in the EU.
Systems integration has played a substantial part of the Millbank operation for many years in that the company recognises the value of combining the appropriate technology for every project - therefore in this interim period before the launch of its new product portfolio, Millbank will solely specify the correct third party products to satisfy its clients' pre-requisites in the Voice Alarm and Public Address sectors.
