WASHINGTON, June 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Erine Gray, CEO of findhelp, a leading social services technology firm, emphasizes the need for perfect information over additional government funding to reform the social safety net in a recently published op-ed.

“Billions of dollars have been spent on creating programs to help people whose needs fall outside of traditional healthcare, yet these needs persist,” says Gray. “The answer is not more money or more programs. The answer is better information.”

Rather, he was an early angel investor in something called Lyft, which used a mobile app to connect drivers with people who needed rides. His Lyft had just dropped him off.

Class A Office Building Selects SU Group to Significantly Bolster Security

Published

on

By

HONG KONG, Jan. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — SU Group Holdings Limited (Nasdaq: SUGP) (“SU Group” or the “Company”), an integrated security-related engineering services company in Hong Kong, today announced one of Hong Kong’s premier Class A office buildings has selected SU Group to significantly bolster security at the prime location.

Under the agreement, SU Group will install high security integrated lintel roller shutters designed to withstand attack by a determined opportunist using bodily force and mechanically advanced tools. Advanced locking systems and anti-lift features increase resistance to forced entry, while the visible presence of a secure shutter acts as a deterrent to potential burglars. The installation is scheduled to be complete by the end of Q2 2025.

The high security integrated lintel roller shutters being installed are meticulously manufactured by Charter Global/U.K., and certified to LPS 1175 Issue 7 SR2. They are independently tested by the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB), a globally recognized third-party certification body delivering certainty for over 150 years. Engineered to integrate within a building’s structure, the aesthetically pleasing and functionally efficient shutters remove the need for an unsightly standard head-box, while providing enhanced security. Other benefits include lowering energy costs by helping to regulate heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer; reduction of noise; storm and debris resistance; protection of interior furnishings from fading; increased privacy; low maintenance; longevity and durability; customizable design; and enhanced property value and appeal.

SU Group’s Chairman and CEO, Dave Chan, commented, “With the advent of new materials and technologies, high-security roller shutters have become the first line of defense for many property owners, ranging all the way from prime location Class A commercial buildings to residential and industrial facilities. Increased smash and grab threats combined with escalating costs from damage and theft are serving as catalysts for growing demand for high-security roller shutters backed by an internationally recognized standard. As a result, we expect news of our latest win to serve as a springboard for a very meaningful surge in sales as we move forward.”
