RollMatic T – Another Blockbuster from Hörmann

The marketing team at Hörmann UK have been out on location producing yet another blockbusting video to support their RollMatic T roller garage door.

Determined to show the end consumer that not all roller garage doors are the same, the team have taken a daring route and is pleased to introduce their ‘Door Secure Team’ to the market.

Starring ex-Gladiator The Wolf and adopting an amusing approach to a serious subject, the Door Secure Team set about demonstrating in a dramatic fashion that some roller doors on the market are just not up to the job, lacking in even the most basic quality and security features. Filmed in ‘real life’ conditions at a recent roller door installation, the company wants to point out that no operatives were injured during the video's filming.

Available to view on the Hörmann YouTube channel, the ‘Door Secure Team’ video is being supported by an extensive paid social media campaign which will link consumers to the video, and then onto the Hörmann dealer network with the ultimate aim of generating extra sales volume. The video is also available to the Hörmann dealer network for use in their own promotional activities.

David O’Mara, Marketing Manager at Hörmann UK, comments:

“Our new ‘Door Secure Team’ video is the next stage in our continued promotion of what Hörmann considers an important message to the end consumer – not all roller garage doors are the same. In fact, some of the doors that are being offered in the market at increasingly low prices are not fit for purpose.

Our Door Secure Team simply highlights the key issues, especially how easy it is to break into a cheap door - an issue that has been circulating via online trade forums for some time.

All we have done is to package it in a clear, understandable, yet creative way so that this message can be easily explained to end users and to make them aware of some of the pitfalls currently being seen in the market. We want to encourage a value for money approach, charging a fair price for a secure, reliable roller door rather than continuing to see a drive to the bottom both in terms of price and quality.”

This latest video follows the launch earlier this year of RollMatic T ‘Watch before you buy’ - a factual and informative film produced to provide advice to end consumers on what to look for when choosing a roller door.

Widely distributed via Hörmann social media channels, the campaign has already generated well over seven thousand views of the video, and the company reports that they have seen sales of their RollMatic roller doors increase by 40% when compared with this time last year

Aston Martin Vanquish Unveiled with Stunning World Premiere in Venice

Aston Martin last night heralded the arrival of Vanquish, its new V12 flagship sports car set to redefine driving dynamism for a new generation of drivers.

Amidst the starlit backdrop of the Venice International Film Festival, Aston Martin unveiled its highly anticipated new Vanquish with a stunning reveal moment on the waters of the Venetian Lagoon.

An intimate audience spanning the worlds of cinema, the arts, fashion and business gathered at the Marina Militare for the grand premiere and headline music performances from Grammy-nominated musician Masego, multi-award-winning Italian jazz performer Walter Ricci and international DJ James Righton.

Stars of cinema in attendance included five Academy Award winning actors. George Clooney, alongside wife Amal, joined Benedict Cumberbatch, Michael Douglas, Kevin Costner and Adrien Brody.

They were joined by celebrated personalities from the worlds of entertainment, the arts and culture, including Australian actor and filmmaker Joel Edgerton, American actresses Haley Bennett and Cailee Spaeny, and BAFTA award-winning director Joe Wright.

In the year that Aston Martin celebrates the 60th anniversary of its iconic association with the James Bond films, other talent present included Bond actor Daniel Craig, alongside fellow British stars Joe Alwyn and Micheal Ward.

The world of fashion was represented by three-time Academy Award-winning costume designer Sandy Powell and models Bianca Brandolini and Poppy Delevingne.

The evening began with a cocktail reception lining the canal whilst guests enjoyed an array of famous film scores with traditional Venetian Bellinis.

Guests were treated to a three-course culinary experience by restaurant Dolada, which holds the longest-standing Michelin Star in Italy, with cuisine responsibly sourced by Chef Riccardo De Prà in the surrounding areas of his Pieve d'Alpago restaurant.

With a history dating back to 1104, the Arsenale di Venezia provided a fitting location for Aston Martin’s brand, sitting at the intersection of storied hand manufacturing, culture and art.

The Arsenale was at the forefront of shipbuilding innovation, noted for its early use of assembly-line production techniques.

Today, as well as being an operational base for the Italian Navy, it proudly embodies culture as the host venue of the acclaimed Venice Biennale international art exhibition, which celebrates its 60th edition in 2024.

The Arsenale is considered by historians as one of the earliest large-scale industrial enterprises, accommodating 2,000 workers a day during the Middle Ages, each contributing by hand to the fleets of La Serenissima.

An automotive piece of art, Vanquish completes Aston Martin’s portfolio of next-generation front-engine sports cars, capping one of the most intensive periods of product development in the company’s rich 111-year history.

Revealed by Aston Martin Aramco Formula One® Team drivers Lance Stroll and Fernando Alonso just 24 hours after the chequered flag at the Italian Grand Prix, the Vanquish launch further solidifies Aston Martin’s connectivity between road and track and the brand’s ambition to be the leading force in high performance.

It follows on from the successful launches of DB12 in May 2023 - revealed on the eve of the amfAR Gala Cannes - and Vantage in February 2024, launched on the same day as Aston Martin’s 2024 Formula One® car, at the home of British motorsport, Silverstone.

Lawrence Stroll, Executive Chairman of Aston Martin, said:

“The arrival of Vanquish is a seminal moment for Aston Martin, completing the newest and strongest portfolio in our segment and reinforcing our ultra-luxury positioning.

“This launch toasts the renaissance of our iconic brand and the unique combination of timeless design, craft mastery and engineering innovation which defines our new generation of sportscars.

“Our flagship product, Vanquish embodies our commitment to both ultra-luxury and high performance, bringing Aston Martin to a new generation of drivers.”

Delivered with scarcity, Vanquish will be Aston Martin’s highest-performance sports car in its core product line-up and its most exclusive, with production limited to no greater than 1,000 examples per year.

Unique in this portfolio, Vanquish is the sole model to feature a bespoke, Aston Martin developed 12-cylinder engine.

Revived for the first time since 2018, this will be the third Aston Martin generation christened with the famous Vanquish nameplate.

The original V12 edition launched in 2001 has played a prominent on-screen role in cinema, driven by James Bond in the 2002 film Die Another Day and making appearances in other films of the 2000s such as Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and The Italian Job. Now, it steals the spotlight once again.

Cooke Brothers Introduces New PVD Finishes For Premium Hinges

Cooke Brothers has launched a range of new Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) finishes for its concealed bearing hinges.

This highly durable finish enhances both the hinges' functionality and aesthetic appeal, making them extremely hardwearing, tarnish-resistant, and durable.

The range of PVD finishes includes sophisticated options such as Black PVD, Gunmetal PVD, Bronze PVD, Satin Brass PVD, and Bright Brass PVD.

These finishes not only elevate the hinges' visual appeal but also ensure they are exceptionally resistant to corrosion, abrasion, and tarnishing, maintaining their pristine appearance over time. This makes them ideal for high-traffic and external applications where durability and design integrity are at a premium.

Engineered for smooth performance, Cooke Brothers' concealed bearing hinges incorporate an advanced polymer bush within their structure to reduce friction and extend lifespan without requiring maintenance.

These hinges' sleek design effectively complements contemporary architectural styles. Available in fixed-pin 3-knuckle and lift-off configurations, the hinges offer design flexibility.

Backed by a robust 32-year guarantee for the concealed bearing hinges and a 25-year guarantee for the shrouded bearing hinges, Cooke Brothers underscores its commitment to product durability and performance.

"With these new PVD finishes, we are enhancing both the durability and aesthetic quality of our concealed bearing hinges to meet contemporary architectural requirements," says Tim Cooke from Cooke Brothers.

"Clients now have access to high-quality operation coupled with an advanced finish that withstands challenging environments."

Mul-T-Lock Secures Start-Up Kinisi Run Hub with Shearline Locksmiths

Mul-T-Lock’s MTL™300 Break Secure® 3XP has been installed by Shearline Locksmiths and designed on a one-key system for the security and convenience of innovative start-up, Kinisi Run Hub.

The Bristol-based running specialist is now open for business, offering in-depth moving analysis appointments to support individual running journeys alongside personalised product advice and recommendations.

Before the store's launch, Kinisi management wanted to ensure the highest level of protection for their employees and visitors. The team partnered with Shearline Locksmiths, who following a site survey, specified Mul-T-Lock’s MTL™300 Break Secure® 3XP locking solution.

Says Jamie Williamson, Managing Director of Kinisi Run Hub:

“As a new business, there is so much to consider, including making sure our retail space is as secure as possible. After making several enquiries, Shearline Locksmiths presented the necessary support and delivered exactly what we needed.

“Tom recommended Mul-T-Lock’s MTL™300 Break Secure® 3XP not only for the high standard of security but also for simplifying authorised access for our team with the convenience of a single key. This allows us to focus on what matters—serving our customers and building our brand.”

Mul-T-Lock’s MTL™300 Break Secure® 3XP was fitted to the side entrance doors of the commercial premises. Working to enhance the security installed and minimise disruption, Shearline Locksmiths installed deadlocks and key and thumb turn cylinders, all keyed alike for ease of use.

Tom Davison of Shearline Locksmiths added:

“It was a pleasure to support Jamie and the innovative venture. As the South West’s newest speciality running store, a significant amount of kit and technology has been invested and these must be protected to the highest level.”

The installation of Mul-T-Lock’s MTL™300 Break Secure® 3XP locks has streamlined access for Kinisi’s staff, reducing the need to manage and carry multiple keys. This ease of use and the patented key solution, combined with the advanced security features of the system, ensures that Kinisi can operate for the benefit of its customers, smoothly and securely.”

Ian Thresher, Mul-T-Lock’s Regional Sales Manager concluded:

“We’re proud to see our MTL™300 Break Secure® 3XP cylinders being used to protect Kinisi Run Hub. The combination of our advanced security technology with the expertise of Shearline Locksmiths ensures Kinisi’s premises are safeguarded against any potential threats.

“We are confident this solution will provide the peace of mind needed for the business to focus on what it does best—serving its customers and growing within the Southwest community. We wish Jamie and the team great success.”

In a landscape where electric vehicles are becoming more widely used, the demand for convenient and efficient charging solutions is growing.

But what if you could power both your EV charger and automated door from a single device?

GfA’s TS 971 Control Panel with Charge Management Function & go-e Wall-Mounted EV Charger is the solution.

The TS 971 Control Panel combines the functionality of an EV charger power supply with automated door control. This not only streamlines installation but can also reduce installation costs.

One of the most impressive features of this system is its integrated charge management function. It ensures that the total power consumption never exceeds 11kW, even when both the door and EV charger are in use simultaneously. The system reduces power to the EV charger when the door is in motion, then returns to normal charging levels when the door is stationary.

3. Future-Proofing Your Infrastructure

As we move towards a more sustainable future, the TS 971 Control Panel and go-e EV Charger combination helps to meet the growing demand for electric vehicle infrastructure. It helps make EV charging more accessible and supports the transition to more sustainable transportation solutions.

James Bond’s Vanquish available to ‘Drive Another Day’

It’s ‘double O heaven’ for Bond fans and movie buffs as an Aston Martin Vanquish used by Pierce Brosnan and EON Productions to promote ‘Die Another Day’ is up for auction with H&H Classics.

Furthermore, the car going under the hammer was the lead car in a parade to commemorate the opening of the M6 Toll road in 2003.

This significant model will be sold at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford, on Wednesday, October 9th.

Estimated to fetch between £50,000 to £70,000, the V12-powered, near 200mph GT began life as one of seven Vanquish cars retained by Aston Martin for press duties which were sequentially road registered from ‘Y829 MWL’ through to ‘Y836 MWL’ (with the exception of ‘Y830 MWL’). Thus, the sale car – ‘Y834 MWL’ had already graced the pages of various publications by the time it was delivered to Pinewood Studios for a photoshoot alongside the fifth James Bond, Pierce Brosnan.

The resultant images were used to promote the 2002 007 outing, ‘Die Another Day,’ worldwide. ‘Y834 MWL was specifically chosen because it was finished in the same Tungsten Silver paint with Charcoal leather and an aluminium centre console as the hero cars used on the silver screen.

‘Die Another Day’ starred Halle Berry too, while the film’s title song was performed by Madonna, who also made a cameo appearance.

The model for sale, which also briefly sported the appropriate number plate ‘M16 SPY’ and was registered as ‘A12 AML’, has just 37,800 miles from new and has been in the hands of its current owner for more than 20 years as part of a prominent collection.

The interior of the Vanquish is equally appealing and blends technology and traditional materials that were considered state-of-the-art at the time.

Meanwhile, images from the iconic collaboration between James Bond and ‘Y834 MWL’ are still being used by numerous newspapers, magazines and websites today.

James McWilliam, sales manager at H&H Classics, said:

“Our October auction offers a fantastic opportunity to own a slice of movie and motoring history with this stunning Aston Martin Vanquish.

“Not only was it used at Pinewood Studios for photoshoots with Pierce Brosnan for ‘Die Another Day’ but it was also the first car to drive down the M6 Toll road to commemorate its opening.

“Additionally, as well as the close connection to James Bond and Pierce Brosnan, who himself owned a 2002 Aston Martin V12 Vanquish, the car is also a superb example of the marque’s last hand-built grand tourer.

‘Die Another Day’ also plays an important role in the James Bond franchise. It re-forged the links between EON Productions and Aston Martin, and the British manufacturer has supplied all the world’s most famous spy’s hero cars since 2002.
