Aigis are working worldwide with Security Professionals to provide a comprehensive range of blast protection solutions, ranging from buildings and rooms protection, to isolation & removal of suspect devices, to vehicle and personal protection, as well as public bins.

Explosion Protection
Protecting personnel, vehicles and structures from the effects of an explosion is becoming more important due to the increased threat of random terrorist violence.

Aigis Blast Protection works constantly to help its clients stay one jump ahead by identifying the possible areas of attack, and producing protective solutions to explosive blast, which minimise potential harm to people and assets.

Aigis is also fully aware of the need to keep businesses functioning smoothly, so our product range contains many products, which are designed with Business Continuity very much in mind. These products can often repay their entire investment cost by preventing just one stoppage or evacuation.

Aigis products also help the pressured management of today to fulfil their increasingly onerous legal duty of care.

This is why Aigis products are now being used all over the world, in airports, railways, police and military applications.

Aigis Blast Protection Technology
The traditional approach to protection against blast is through resistance, 'bouncing' the blast energy off a structure (e.g. fragmentation mats, steel plates, thick concrete walls). 

In close proximity, the most damaging part of an explosion is the invisible, but devastating effect of the shockwave, doing the most harm to the human body, passing through solid objects, at speeds of more than 20 times the speed of sound.

Even if the structure does resist, the energy is bounced in another direction, causing unintended catastrophic loss of life and damage.

The Aigis TABREshield technology treats the problem of blast in a totally innovative way: it actually absorbs c90%of the energy of the explosion, thus reducing the damaging effects, including fragmentation and any forces of acceleration.

Aigis Blast Protection Range
Aigis TABREshield technology is integral to all our well-established products and solutions:

Aigis products are certified to highest available standards (UN, NATO, etc), and are in use in over 50 airports, with offices in the UK, France and USA.

Vice Chairman and Marketing Director

David worked for most of his early career in the Marketing and Communications world. After studying Languages at Oxford, he joined Unilever, where he was trained to become a classical marketing specialist,with a clear understanding that meeting a customers needs in terms of quality, product performance and price is critical to all business success.

After his time in Unilever, in the UK and around Europe, he spent many years running major Advertising agencies in London and Brussels, latterly, for over ten years, as vice chairman and head of client relations of a top-five group, covering all forms of Marketing Communication.

For the last few years, he has chosen to explore just how much he had
learned from working for major organisations - he created his own business to help small technology-based companies to flourish in a world where the founding principals often had little or no grasp of the need for and implementation of marketing and communications.

This resulted in floating two companies on the AIM in the '90's, and for the last few years he has kept up the pace with an intense involvement in Aigis, both as a major shareholder, and as a hands-on member of the management team.
