A few words from the companies that we dealt with over the years:

“As one of the UK’s most recognised business names, Unilever understand just how important it is to find service providers who make their life easier.

We have had Apex Radios on site for many, many years. They have been very reliable with very few faults.

I would not hesitate to recommend Apex to any company who needs a cost effective and reliable service provider for radio communications”

Armstrong Team Valley Plant, Gateshead

 

“I was introduced to Apex Communications back in 2011 as part of our quest to improve our internal communications within our Manufacturing process.

I can say that I have been extremely impressed with Apex as one of the best companies I have personally dealt with. In a highly specialised communications industry, Apex Radio Systems seized quickly and efficiently a package that was right for us, through their knowledge and expertise and the requirements for ourselves at a very competitive price.

I would recommend Apex Radio Systems to anyone who is looking for professional organisation to drive your business to the next level, with a quality service package.

Barry Pact Shopwatch Radio Link Scheme

 

“As the Chairman of BARRY PACT I work in conjunction with Apex Radio Systems and the retail community trying to constantly prevent store theft and tackle anti-social behaviour within the town of Barry.

Apex Radio Systems set up in 2004 a very successful Shopwatch scheme which allowed all local business’s the opportunity of constant two-way radio communication with one another using Handportable Security Radios that Apex supply. Since Apex introduced the scheme we have noticed significant improvements in terms of the security of the town for which we hold Apex in extreme high regard.

As well as being the Chairman of BARRY PACT I also work for TESCO as a Security Manager (store 2081). This store also uses one of the Apex Radio Systems and proves to be beneficial on a daily basis to the Tesco store, promoting piece of mind and improving security to both staff and customers alike.

Through working with Apex At BARRY PACT I have been extremely impressed with both their quality of service as an organisation and their professionalism afforded to me as a customer. With these skills, Apex provides support and understanding to help us overcome the current critical issue with the payment of invoices that my store has experience for some time.

Through my experience working closely with Apex for the last 5 years I can honestly say that any internal systems they could provide or would suggest, would be specific to our needs and enhance our internal communications. I would be 100% supportive of Apex supplying internal radios to our store to take communication within the store to the next level.

Apex seems to be a customer driven company and in my experiences always strive to ensure that customers are happy and satisfied with both the equipment and service provided.”

Carlisle Retailers Against Crime

 

Carlisle Retailers Against Crime has been working with Apex Radio Systems for a number of years now and we cannot but give 100% praise for the company. They have supplied a new digital radio system at their own expense which now gives our shopwatch scheme a greater area of coverage covering all four sides of the city; our members find the digital radio system works better now.

We cannot thank Apex enough for their time and dedication they have given to the scheme and their assistance with invoices, approaching new retailers in the city to get them to join CRAC.

Thank you very much.

City Safe Birmingham

 

Businesses within the Retail Birmingham Business improvement district were becoming increasingly concerned regarding business crime and anti-social behaviour and its negative effects on the city. As a  direct response to this, Retail Birmingham created a new crime partnership named CITY SAFE Birmingham whose sole aim was to address these concerns and create a stronger, more robust partnership approach to reducing crime. Something which was  much needed within the city. Essential to and at the heart of CITY SAFE’s strategy was the requirement to have the most modern and effective communication  system available to the market and as importantly a trusted  service provider  that  could deliver and was utterly reliable. Having researched the market for many months, Apex were chosen and delivered a digital radio network solution, driven by the  latest Motorola equipment and base stations which has exceeded expectations and is performing outstandingly.  In the 6 months since the system has been operational we now have 150 radios in use and new users joining weekly. During this period our partnerships with West Midlands Police, British Transport Police and other security professionals and our businesses is growing stronger and stronger. The instant communications  already proving greatly successful in identifying and reducing crime resulting in numerous arrests. The difference that City Safe is making is quantifiable and thanks to the efforts of APEX, our radio system is achieving all we could have wished for and the service, reliability  and response provided has been first – class in every way.

Erdington

 

As the Business Improvement District Manager in the busy Erdington Town Centre I believe it is vital to ensure that all the businesses and local authorities are able to communicate effectively to reduce crime and disorder.

When another local BID recommended Apex Radio Systems had successfully upgraded their radio communication system I invited Apex to discuss our needs with a view to upgrade and was immediately impressed with their professionalism and knowledge to resolve all of our radio communication issues.

Before Apex installed our new Digital Shopwatch system we were using Analogue radios which struggled to reach many of the 200 businesses with the district. These coverage issues prevented the growth of the radio link throughout the BID area.

The Digital Radio System that Apex installed solved this problem, allowing coverage in the far ends of the high street as well as backrooms which previously had been complete blind spots.

With the success of the upgrade it has been necessary to request additional radios from Apex. The ongoing support has been excellent with an efficient turnaround of new equipment and effective customer service.

G4S Secure Solutions (UK) Ltd

 

“I used Apex Radio Systems to supply me with over 200 radios, on 4 channels, with repeater systems for each channel. They also supplied headsets for our pit crews and supervisors. This was at short notice…

The quality of the equipment, delivery and set up was excellent and I am happy to recommend this company to anyone requiring hand held radios for their future events.”

Hampshire II

 

I am the Chief Officer on board M/Y Hampshire 2, a 257 foot private superyacht launched in early 2012. Over the past 3 ½ years we have worked solely with Apex for all our radio needs.

As we are working at sea good communication equipment on board is key, not only for safety and security but also for the day to day running of the vessel. All equipment and acessories supplied by Apex have been faultless. They have always understood our needs and provided us with equipment that has best suited those needs.

I will continue to work with Apex and I would not hesitate to recommend their services to others in the Superyacht industry.

Harrogate District

 

“Harrogate has operated a CCTV scheme between shops, licensed premises and the CCTV Control room based in the town for over ten years. This was an analogue network that was installed by another radio provider at the outset of the scheme and owned by Harrogate Borough Council. The Council directly hired the radio handsets to scheme members as a revenue income.

Harrogate District also includes the towns of Ripon and Knaresborough. Both had a local Radiolink network organised by the police, but even though CCTV cameras were being monitored in both locations, CCTV operatorswere not part of the Radiolink owing to the distances involved.

Apex Radio Systems won the contract to replace the analogue network in Harrogate with a digital one, and to find a solution to the problem of getting Radiolink messages from both Ripon and Knaresborough back to CCTV control in Harrogate. After investigation and trial, an infrastructure using Harrogate Borough Council’s own intranet system to relay radio messages was installed by Apex, which was a “no cost” solution that has proved very effective. The outcome is a digital network covering Harrogate Town that has prompted positive feedback from many users of improved transmission clarity and reception, including CCTV operators themselves. That users in Ripon and Karesborough can now talk to CCTV operators in Harrogate at all times of day or nigh has proven a more attractive product for business resulting in an increased membership in both towns; this wouldn’t have been possible without going digital.

Throughout I have found Apex easy to deal with and from the outset they had a good appreciation of what Harrogate Council required, and the possible options available to meet our needs. Their costed proposals were clearly presented and of the three tenders we received, met our requirements at the most attractive price. Work was always carried out on time, and I was particularly impressed that on the day of Harrogate digital “go-live”, their technicians arrived from Newcastle despite heavy overnight snowfalls, an indication of their commitment to getting our scheme activated on schedule.

Apex offered an attractive revenue return to Harrogate Council per radio handset taken up by scheme members, and have taken over all aspects of member invoicing, which has lifted a burden from our finance department. Apex clearly has an organised administration department, as revenue payments to us are being made promptly without problem and orders for new members radios are handled quickly and efficiently using overnight couriers.

To date our experience with Apex Radio Systems has been only positive. Their solution to our requirement for a digital network covering the district has fully achieved that goal and their service has been both professional and courteous at all levels. Despite being a large national radio provider, the service we continue to receive feels personal, and I feel confident of prompt attention should any issues ever arise.

Hilton Garden Inn Aberdeen

 

“Set in the heart of Aberdeen – the oil capital of Europe- The Hilton Garden Inn Aberdeen City Centre is a new-build 100 bedroom hotel which is part of the Hilton Family of Hotels.

As with any business, communication plays a vital role with our day to day operations.

Apex Radio Systems Ltd provided many options to meet our requirements, all of which were at lower cost than any of their competitors, and in the case of the model we chose to implement on site, they were a huge 50% more cost effective than other companies approached.

With quality service and quality products I would recommend Apex Radios to any business looking to improve their communication needs.

M.Y. Lady Christine 4

 

“I am the First Officer on board M.Y. Lady Christine 4, a 225-foot private superyacht launched in July 2010.

Due to the size of the vessel and our operational requirements we require a reliable, proven crew radio system to use on board. Having already worked with Apex for a number of years previously on other vessels, we decided to use them as our preferred supplier for this project.

Living and working at sea, we rely on our communications equipment not only for security and routine operational duties, but also for use during emergency training and response. As such it is crucial that our supplier is competent, knowledgeable, responsive and capable of providing timely assistance and support on a worldwide basis.

Apex has consistently proven themselves to be capable of fulfilling these criteria time and time again.

Based primarily on the French Riviera, we have the choice of other suppliers throughout

Europe. Apex has consistently proven to be the most cost-effective option for our needs, even taking into international exchange rates and shipping costs. We will continue to work with Apex, and I would not hesitate to recommend their services to others.”

Marriot Hotels & Resorts

 

” Our leading venue The Marriott Hollins Hall Hotel & Country Club, part of the Marriott International Inc Group, is located on an 18 hole championship golf course, offering the rural gateway to traditional Yorkshire hospitality, with easy access to the Yorkshire dales.

We contacted Apex Radio Systems to see if they could help with two – way radio communications in and around our site. Apex were positive they would be able to assist, and provided a two – way radio communications system to meet our needs.

We now have constant contact between staff, with no call charges, which link all areas of our premises maintaining an efficient and secure hotel environment. Whether that is Reception contacting Porters, the Kitchen contacting Room Service or our Conference team liaising with the Banqueting team. This all saves our hotel time and money and of course enables us to give best service to our customers so they have nothing but a pleasant and relaxed time while staying with us, which means they will not hesitate to return.

Apex also offer excellent after sales customer service, we are able to contact them to discuss any requirements, secure in the knowledge they are always there to help and support”

Metnor Construction

 

“We confirm that the service from Apex was very good and the very few radio repairs that were required were completed quickly and kept the site operational at all times.

All six of the radios were continually used since first delivery, and were especially important for the steelwork erection between the Steel Erectors, Crane Operator, Banksmen and our Foreman in horrendous winter weather conditions.”

Gerry Simpson – Contracts Manager

Miller & Carter, Wheathampstead, Mitchell & Butlers Group

 

“I have been very impressed with the speed of service and high level communication I have received from Apex Radio Systems, especially Mattew who has helped me every step of the way and answered all my demands. (and believe me I demanded a lot!)

The quotes and invoices given were concise and easy to read with all the breakdown explained.. No fine print which I found most refreshing.

Due to the professional service given many of the business in my brand have used Apex, and we expect Apex could possibly be used across many brands in the future.

The radio mic system we have decided on has been most beneficial to us helping to control the restaurant and Expo during peak shifts allowing us to turn tables quicker, avoid “bottle necking” at peak times and communicating potential issues quickly.

I would recommend Apex as the best company to use for professional radio system use.”

Milton Keynes Partners Against Crime

 

“Milton Keynes Partners Against Crime have worked with Apex Radio Systems since 2009 when we put out to tender the radio link scheme. Back then we were looking for a radio company to give us a technically competent analogue radio system that would provide good coverage throughout Milton Keynes and also extend to Bletchley.

After hearing from all the tenders we decided to award the contract to Apex Radio Systems Ltd. We truly felt they offered the most comprehensive package that met our technical, time scale and financial requirements the best.

We have not been disappointed by the decision that we have made and that’s why we haven’t looked further than Apex when we decided to upgrade our existing analogue system to digital. We knew that Apex would meet our expectation in terms of technical installation, deadlines and ongoing professional service and support.

The ‘digital upgrade’ in 2015 again assured us that Apex is the best company to work with in terms of radio communications as they once again provided a great technical solution, installation and support. They were able to connect and cover three large shopping centres in the heart of Milton Keynes, their CCTV control rooms and local Police force with new digital two way radio technology. This increasingly extended the radio coverage and significantly improved the audio quality throughout the scheme.

Milton Keynes PAC has been working in partnership with Apex for quite a time now and we are certain that we made the right decision for our area.  We get regular administrative updates from Apex regarding users on the scheme and can contact them at any time and ask for assistance knowing that they will provide us with the information we require.

We also have a “Shared Revenue” agreement with Apex where a percentage of the money received from radio hires comes back to Milton Keynes PAC. This way we can promote sustainability of the scheme and reinvest these funds to benefit the area for all our members making Milton Keynes a fantastic place to shop and spend time, promoting staff and customer safety.

In summary, I find Apex to be a professional and customer driven company to work with, I would not hesitate to recommend them to any other town or city who were contemplating developing an existing scheme or considering a change of supplier. I feel that with their level of expertise, in developing radio link schemes, they could help any area provide a radio system that will really benefit the community by which it is used.

In my opinion Apex are committed to working in partnership with local agencies to ensure the service they provide, creates the best possible outcome for the radio users.

If you would like to discuss this matter in more detail please feel free to contact me.”

Nestle

 

“At Nestlé we used to spend a great deal of time and money by using mobile and DECT phones. We found ourselves in a position where the cost of such devices was getting too expensive and when there was a problem with them we had to wait too long and spend too much getting them replaced.

In 1997 I’m glad to say someone recommended Apex Radio Systems Ltd to us and since then our communications have been made a whole lot easier. From the very first time we spoke to Apex they were friendly and professional. They also explained what we needed (and more importantly what we didn’t need). This not only saved us lots of time but it also saved us money as well.

Since then whenever we need something they are always ready to help out and this has meant the site now has total coverage.

For any company big or small I would have no hesitation in recommending Apex. Their service and staff are superb and are a pleasure to deal with.”

Newcastle Racecourse High Gosforth Park

 

“As one of the busiest leisure, sports and entertainment venues in the North East, we at Newcastle Racecourse and Conference Centre have to ensure our staff are fully prepared for all eventualities.

Our first class facilities are open not just on race days but all year round for a variety of different types of events.

Because of this we had a major need for two-way radio communications equipment to enable all of our staff to work together safely and efficiently.

We made contact with Apex Radio Systems Ltd. After being advised that they also handled the two-way radio communications for another large local sports venue.

I am pleased we look that advice as we now have a radio system which covers our whole site and is used by 50 of our stuff to aid with all areas of the operation, with the number of radios being increased to 100 on busy race days.

This equipment ensures we can continue to offer our patrons a welcoming and safe atmosphere and the most enjoyable experience when visiting Newcastle Racecourse, whatever the occasion.”

Newcastle United

 

Apex Radio Systems have supplied radio equipment and service to Newcastle United Football Club since 1993.  Two Way Radio communication is a integral to the club. Staff working in all departments use two way radios to provide instant and reliable communications with colleagues across the stadium.

Safety and security is paramount to our operations and with the dedicated and reliable service we receive from Apex we are confident in our communication system.  Apex have a team of qualified engineers on hand to speak with or to visit St James’ Park, often at short notice, and with a 52,000 capacity crowd on Match days we need this level of service which Apex deliver!

We were so pleased with the historical support we have received from Apex that when we decided to migrate to a digital radio system we only turned to Apex for help and advice.  We relied upon them to show us the best products to suit our needs and to provide a coding structure and commissioning plan that would give us flexibility, more features and future expansion, whilst providing a cohesive digital solution for our radio needs.

If anyone is considering a communication system for their business I would advise using two way radio for instant, reliable communication and I would not hesitate to recommend Apex Radio Systems Ltd.  Indeed I am so sure of the reliability of service clients will achieve from Apex we requested that The Rugby World Cup and The Rugby League Magic Weekend used Apex Radio Systems Ltd as their radio supplier at the matches hosted at St James’ Park.

Nuffield Health

 

Nuffield Health has recently completed an enterprise programme of work to upgrade from Windows XP and refresh the hardware estate across 31 hospitals, 75 Fitness and Wellbeing centres, 4 Medical Centres and 6 Hospitals Sterile Services Units.

We ran four regional seven man teams over a 6 month period and needed an effective & efficient way for the team members to communicate with each other whilst on site.  Apex Radios already have a presence at several Nuffield Health sites and were contacted to see what they could offer.

Having gathered our requirements, they proposed a couple of solutions which were successfully trialled free of charge at one of our pilot hospitals.  They quickly set up the contract and delivered 28 radios and x6 way chargers direct to Nuffield sites.  The radios proved invaluable during the roll out.  The reception was always clear, the charge lasted the full day and support was always available if needed.  Helen Kingston, Senior Sales Executive and Andrew Soulsby, Customer Service Advisor were in regular contact, ensuring their equipment was performing well and Nuffield were happy customers.

I would happily use Apex Radios again for future roll outs of this nature.

“Since switching from our old house radio providers, Apex Radio Systems have been a pleasure to work with. The product quality is top class and we have found communication between stuff, management and security to be a lot more efficient. The longevity of the radio’s battery life and the clarity in communication has given us one less worry in our busy working environment.

The staff at Apex was helpful and patient and were able to offer a great product at a great price.

Premier Inn – Newcastle City Centre Millennium Bridge

 

“My job is to help make sure Premier Inn Millennium Bridge in Newcastle’s City Centre, is as welcoming, safe, secure and relaxed as possible.

Another way we have managed to do this recently is through using digital two way radios provided by Apex Radio Systems Ltd. Apex came highly recommended due to their extensive experience of providing communications to the UK hotel sector and their service and professionalism has been second to none.

From site visits in which they fully explained the benefits of using wireless radio communication to full training and free trials, Apex made the experience of sourcing, testing and using 2 way radios as simple and straightforward as I could have hoped for.

At Premier Inn, we’re committed to providing a warm welcome and using the radios supplied from Apex allows us to do this in an affordable and highly effective way.

Southport Town Centre

 

Apex Radio Systems Ltd has been working in Southport with a radio link scheme for over 15 years, the first ten of which were with Southport Business Enterprise and the last five with Southport Business Improvement District.

During all that time the service we’ve received from Apex has been excellent.  We’ve never considered changing radio suppliers despite regular telephone calls from other companies claiming to provide a similar service.

We work alongside Apex in the town centre on both the shop and pubwatch radio link schemes and receive a proportion of the revenue created from hire of the radios to the shops and pubs involved.  This provides useful additional revenue which we use to help further develop the scheme.

In all the years we have worked with Apex I think that their greatest strengths are technical ability, service support, and friendly and committed staff.  The turn around of jobs and actioning of requests from new users is excellent, and they communicate to us every step of the way when a new initiative or scheme development is being proposed.

I feel that Apex Radio Systems Ltd are a genuine, professional and competent company to work with and would not hesitate to recommend the service they provide to other towns and cities and, indeed, have done so throughout my working relationship with them.
