Modular training, security and disaster support – an all-in-one solution

Yeah, so, I mean, there's a variety of...

As John touched on, there's a variety of existing training facilities across our law enforcement, police and military across the UK and indeed across Europe.

Traditionally, they tend to be fixed infrastructure, so permanent buildings.

And as you can imagine, Mark, if you're continually training in that same building with the So from our point of view, the first USP, I guess, is really just that part around reconfigurability, you know, so keeping training fresh and changing it up.

But in terms of what exists at the moment, there's everything, we've witnessed everything from permanent, very high tech facilities to maybe and more low-tech facilities that exist and have been existing since the 80s, for instance, all the way down to things like improvised structures made of pallets or that to mark out and delineate spaces, which obviously is good in terms of marking out space.

But ultimately, if you can see through a wall, you're not really training appropriately.

So where we come in is obviously we offer that flexibility.

but it's absolutely real you know if you run into that wall you're going to feel it you know if you have to move through a door you have to you know we have our own method of entry doors that are part of the system so you have to open the door in specific ways you have to breach that door etc and you're moving through a scenario that mimics real life um and you know other is A, on flexibility, because we've got a system where you can virtually build anything.

So we have examples of people using the system to build trench networks, for instance, to train in that scenario.

We have people building out, police forces building out scenarios for public order training.

We have mimicking corridors with jail cells off them, for instance.

We have military requirements around the floor plan of a house, etc.

So in terms of flexibility, that's why people are coming to use QuickBlock, because you've got that ability to just change it up to meet the training scenario.

And then also the second point is probably on permanence.

So we've spoken about permanent facilities, which are large infrastructure projects, effectively, to get the it's a temporary structure so it doesn't have the same planning constraints doesn't have the same budgetary requirement I guess and from that you can build things that can be up and down in a day so only last week John was out with some of our clients in the firearms teams and built a training scenario in the morning and then took it back down in the evening so that was you know, a very quick training exercise that took place.

But we also have structures that have been there for months on end, you know, in outdoor locations and all the way to the Infantry Battle School in Brecon, which is used by the UK MOD.

And it's been there for years.

So that kind of level of permanence as well is something that It kind of stands us out from what is currently on the market.

And to be frank, it can be done in a much more cost effective way.

And that's not only looking at the physical building of something, Mark, it's also, you know, the overall If you consider training as quite a costly thing, and we've seen a lot of the news recently around this, particularly with the UK MOD training exercises, the costs associated with that can be quite high, but that doesn't start and end at the facility itself.

It's the travel from...

the north of Scotland down to Salisbury Plain to undertake your training.

If that training can take place in unit, as John said, in your backyard effectively, then you can really increase everyone's capability without the additional cost and burden and time, frankly, that it takes to travel to and from what is a system and an estate that's already at capacity.

So I think

that kind of covers off what makes us different.
