This week, our team enjoyed a well-deserved ice cream while supporting a fantastic cause through voluntary donations to MindOut.

MindOut provides mental health services by and for LGBTQ+ people, helping to improve wellbeing, reduce isolation, and ensure that everyone has access to understanding and inclusive support.

While the ice cream was a welcome treat, the conversations it sparked were just as important. Supporting organisations like MindOut reminds us that creating an inclusive workplace is about more than policies-it's about fostering an environment where everyone feels seen, respected, valued, and able to be themselves.

Thank you to everyone who donated and helped support this important work. Every contribution helps make a difference.

Last week, our Sales, Specification & Major Projects teams travelled to Germany to visit the home of MAGNETIC access systems - investing time directly with our manufacturer to further strengthen our expertise ahead of what is shaping up to be a major year for security investment across the UK.

With increasing demand for smarter, safer and more automated building access solutions, it’s more important than ever that we stay ahead of the curve. From access control integration and anti-tailgating technology to fully automated unmanned entry solutions, the visit gave our teams valuable hands-on insight into the latest innovations available across the MAGNETIC range.

One of the highlights was seeing the extensive cycle-use testing in action - with products exceeding 10 million+ cycles while maintaining full operational performance, both internally and externally. A real demonstration of the durability and long-term reliability our customers expect from modern entrance control systems.

The trip also allowed our teams to network with our colleagues from FAAC Netherlands and deepen their understanding of how these solutions can be adapted and integrated with different access control technologies to suit the unique requirements of each site and client.

At the heart of it all is our commitment to continuous upskilling and training. We believe the best solutions come from combining proven products with knowledgeable people - ensuring our clients receive not only industry-leading technology, but also the right advice, specification support and long-term partnership.

Exciting times ahead for the security sector in the UK - and we’re ready for it.

Today, on International HR Day, I want to take a moment to recognise and thank all HR professionals for the incredible work they do every day. 💙

Behind every positive workplace culture, supported colleague, and thriving team is a group of people working tirelessly to create environments where individuals feel valued, heard, and empowered. So here's why they do what they do...

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗛𝗥?
"I undertook a Business Studies degree at university, and I really enjoyed the HR focused modules the most. I then completed my placement year in a HR role where I got exposure to the full HR Generalist role and saw how HR works in practice. I’ve always enjoyed helping people and HR gave me the opportunity to do that while also supporting the business." - Beatriz James

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲?
"I’d say one of my main strengths is communication and being able to build good relationships with people at all levels. I’m calm under pressure, adaptable, and handle confidential information professionally. I also have strong interpersonal skills and enjoy working with people, whether that’s supporting employees, solving problems, or working as part of a team." - Beatriz James

"Having started my career in events, I’ve always enjoyed working with people, which is what led me into HR 3.5 years ago. Since then, it’s shown me how rewarding it is to be in a role that’s so central to the day-to-day running of a business. Every day brings different challenges, and problem solving is a big part of what I enjoy most. Whether it’s supporting employees through challenges, helping managers find solutions, or improving processes behind the scenes, I like being able to take a practical approach and make things easier for people." - Emily Thomas

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲?
"I like being able to support people and make a positive difference in their working lives. I enjoy helping employees, dealing with challenges, and being part of creating a good workplace culture. It’s rewarding knowing you can support employees while also helping the business more forward strategically. I also like that no two days are the same in HR, and there’s always something new to learn and develop." - Beatriz James

"I’m passionate about changing the perception of HR - putting a face to the role, building relationships, and helping people understand why we do what we do. Since joining FAAC in July last year, I hope that’s something I’ve started to bring to the business. I have also recently trained as a Mental Health First Aider, which I’m really looking forward to putting into practice to further support employee wellbeing and hopefully make a positive difference."- Emily Thomas

Thank you for the care, empathy, resilience, and leadership you bring in shaping workplaces where people can truly succeed.

What a fantastic week of wellbeing we’ve had in recognition of Mental Health Awareness Week 💚

Here’s a look back at the activities and conversations shared across the week:

🗓️ Monday:
Liz Mulligan delivered a fantastic and insightful webinar for our teams, focused on Stress Awareness - helping employees better understand the relationship between pressure, stress, and overall wellbeing.

🗓️Tuesday:
An uplifting activity encouraged colleagues to share inspirational quotes, which were later randomly drawn by another team member - a simple but meaningful way to spread positivity and encouragement.

🗓️Wednesday:
Our lunchtime vision board session invited colleagues to reflect on what they want the second half of 2026 to look like. A powerful and tangible exercise for clarifying goals, boosting motivation, and maintaining focus on personal aspirations.

🗓️Thursday:
We wore green and enjoyed plenty of cake - all in support of charity! 💚
Our Sunbury office teams also raised over £200 for Shooting Star Children’s Hospice through everyone’s generosity and support.

🗓️Friday:
Wellbeing Bingo served as a gentle reminder to carry this week’s learnings into a self-care-focused weekend:
🔌 Unplug (even briefly)
🌳 Get outside
😄 Do something you enjoy
🧖 Rest without guilt
🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Connect with others (or yourself)
💭 Check in with yourself

A big thank you to our Mental Health First Aid team and our Social Committee for driving all these events and activities! 💚

Wishing everyone a calm, restful, and restorative weekend. 🙏

What’s one thing workplaces can do better to support wellbeing?

Investing in those that are willing and able to listen non-judgmentally and support those around them.

Taking care of ourselves, checking in with others, and creating environments where people feel comfortable speaking openly can make a huge difference both inside and outside of work. And we are so fortunate to have such a large group of Mental Health First Aiders who are willing to dojust that.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗔𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿?
"I wanted this role of mental Health first aider because I genuinely care peoples wellbeing and understand how important it is t feel supported at work. We all got through challenging times, and someone approachable to talk to can make a real difference. I see this role as an opportunity to help create a more open supportive environment where people feel comfortable speaking up and know they are not alone." - Ruby

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀?
"I aim to provide a calm, approachable, and non-judgmental space where people feel comfortable opening up. My HR background has helped me build strong listening skills and maintain confidentiality, and my personal experiences have strengthened my empathy and understanding. I focus on listening, offering reassurance, and guiding people towards the right support when needed." - Bea

We're very lucky to have so many caring and considerate employees willing to be a part of our Mental Health First Aid team! 💚

Mental Health Awareness Week is a good opportunity to pause and reflect on something that affects all of us — our mental wellbeing.

Looking after yourself isn’t selfish, and checking in on others doesn’t have to be complicated. Often, the smallest conversations can make the biggest difference.

Here are some more of our FAAC heroes who have stepped into the role of Mental Health First Aiders.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗔𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿?
"I care deeply about the wellbeing of others and want to make a positive difference in the workplace and wider community. I understand the importance of being approachable, listening without judgement, and supporting people through difficult times. In this role, I can help by providing a safe and confidential space for someone to talk, offering reassurance, recognising when someone may be struggling" - Harman

"I have experienced first-hand how quickly somebody’s life can pivot and how that can affect their mental health. But I also recognise that others can be suffering in silence for a long while before they or others notice. Either way, having a team of active MHFA’s to start the recovery process is invaluable." - Kelly

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀?
"I feel that any manager who wants to have a successful team, should not only recognise the qualities in an individual that create positive results but also recognise the signs where someone might be struggling and help that individual overcome those struggles. Life experience has prepared me for helping others. Births, Deaths, Marriage, Relationships, Prosperity, Hardship all of life's lessons." - Gavin

"I want everybody to know that feeling -not ok' is actually OK!
I have also been in need of support in my past where it took me a very long time to realise that actually there were people that would listen and actually cared! I will always find time for anyone that needs it no matter when its required... night/day/rain/shine.... Even if its just for a coffee and a good old chat!" - Ryan

We're very lucky to have so many caring and considerate employees willing to be a part of our Mental Health First Aid team! 💚
