Trinity House honours Tideland Signal

The award, recognising Tidelands supply of buoys, lanterns and solar packages to the Corporation over 20 years, was presented at a ceremony at the Corporation’s headquarters on Tower Hill, London by Sir Jeremy de Halpert, deputy master of Trinity House (retired), “as a mark of the Elder Brethren’s appreciation of such loyal service”.

Receiving the award certificate, Chris Smith, systems engineer at Tideland Signal Limited said, “It is a great honour to be recognized in this way by such an august body as Trinity House, the oldest lighthouse authority in the world. At Tideland, we make huge efforts to offer all our customers the best and most comprehensive support but, of course, Trinity House represents and requires the very highest standards.”

Approved to ISO 9001:2008, Tideland Signal recently won a contract to supply its SeaBeacon 2 system six dual-band racons to the General Lighthouse Authorities of the UK and Ireland for a duration of three years, with an option on a further year.

The contract was awarded under the terms of a joint-GLA framework agreement, which includes the Commissioners of Irish Lights (CIL) and the Northern Lighthouse Board (NLB) as well as Trinity House. Consequently, the Tideland racons will be installed not only around the coastline of England, Wales and Northern Ireland, but also the Republic of Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of Man.
