Preparing for Security TWENTY with TP-Link
We are looking ahead to the next run of industry events, where we will be exhibiting at Security TWENTY Glasgow, followed by Manchester and London.
These events are known for bringing together professionals who want more than just a quick look at new products. They create space for real conversations, practical insight, and meaningful connections across the security sector.
This year, we will be exhibiting alongside our very good friends from TP-Link, allowing visitors to explore reliable, scalable connectivity solutions in a hands-on setting. It is a chance to see how the right technology, paired with the right support, can make a genuine difference to day-to-day operations.
For us, it is not just about being present. It is about listening, understanding what matters most to the people we work with, and sharing solutions that are built around those needs.

Strengthen Your CCTV and Networking Expertise with TP-Link at QED This April
This April, we are proud to be hosting two dedicated training events at QED, in partnership with TP-Link, designed to help you build stronger expertise in surveillance and networking while unlocking new opportunities within your business.
Hosted at our Bamber Bridge site, these sessions go beyond theory. They are built around practical knowledge that can be applied immediately in real-world environments, giving you the confidence to deliver better results for your customers from day one.
A Practical Approach to Learning
Time away from your business should deliver real value. That is exactly what these sessions are designed to do.
By hosting these events at QED, we can create a more hands-on, engaging environment where learning is not just delivered, but experienced. Each session focuses on a specific area of development, ensuring you leave with knowledge that is both relevant and actionable.
Tuesday 14th April 2026
CCTV and Networking Fundamentals
The first session, hosted at QED, is designed to give you a clear and structured understanding of how modern CCTV systems operate, alongside the critical role networking plays in overall performance, security, and reliability.
Throughout the day, you will explore system design principles, common installation challenges, and proven best practices that help reduce issues on site. The focus is on helping you improve long-term outcomes for your customers while increasing efficiency within your own projects.
Wednesday 15th April 2026
VIGI Certified Security Administrator
The second session, also delivered at QED, takes a more hands-on approach, offering a full certification experience through the VIGI Certified Security Administrator.
You will work directly with VIGI solutions, gaining practical insight into how they can be deployed across a wide range of environments. By the end of the session, you will have developed a deeper technical understanding and earned a recognised certification that strengthens your credibility and positions you as a trusted expert within your field.
Why Attend Both Sessions
Each event delivers clear value on its own. However, attending both creates a more complete and impactful learning experience.
By combining foundational knowledge with hands-on application and recognised accreditation, you will be in a stronger position to deliver reliable solutions, reduce installation challenges, and confidently present your offering in an increasingly competitive market.
A Focused Experience at QED
Both sessions will take place at our site in Bamber Bridge, Preston, where spaces have been intentionally limited to ensure a more focused and interactive experience.
Hosting these events in-house allows for open discussion, deeper learning, and direct access to both QED and TP-Link specialists throughout the day. It creates an environment where questions are encouraged, conversations flow naturally, and real value is delivered.
Upcoming TP-Link Training Sessions
Keeping up to date with networking and security is essential for IT professionals. As customer demands evolve and technologies advance, having the right knowledge ensures you can deliver reliable, future-ready solutions.
To support our partners, QED is sharing the latest Q2 2026 TP-Link training and certification sessions.
