Having previously been involved with programmes such as ‘Secret Diary of a Call Girl’ and ‘The Gadget Show’ SALTO will soon be appearing in its first Hollywood film “Gambit” which is currently shooting on location in London. The film, due for release in 2012, is directed by Michael Hoffman (The Last Station) and based on a screenplay written by Academy Award© winners Joel and Ethan Coen (True Grit, No Country for Old Men) and features actor Colin Firth fresh from his Oscar win for “The King’s Speech”, Cameron Diaz from “Bad Teacher” and Alan Rickman.

posted on 20/06/2011

The Grand Pier at Weston Super Mare in Somerset has recently been rebuilt after a fire destroyed the structure of the original pavilion in 2008. Newly re-opened, the owners were anxious to ensure high security systems were installed to protect the £34 million investment. Local architectural ironmongers and locksmiths, AIW Key Centre, recommended a high security cylinder range from Mul-T-Lock, allowing the owners to retain and extend an existing master key system whilst benefiting from the extra security features available. The patented Mul-T-Lock cylinder system has been installed by AIW Key Centre in the Grand Pier, to secure the new structure, following its multi million pound rebuild. Says Ian Lane of the AIW Key Centre: “A significant investment has been made in rebuilding the iconic pier following a devastating fire, and the owners were very determined to ensure the highest specification for all aspects of security at the new site.” The cylinder system has a unique telesco...
