ASSA ABLOY's importance on education & training
Eryl Jones, Managing Director of the Door Hardware Group, said: "Education must be the bedrock of our industry; and I’m proud that ASSA ABLOY places such great importance on education & training. The advice we give, the knowledge we impart, the products that we make and sell, must keep people safe and secure."
Eryl Jones adds, "In the schools, offices, hospitals and homes, in all the places where our friends and family live and work each day, our part is to ensure they do so in the safest possible way. Getting it wrong is simply not an option, and that is why education and the work of the Guild is so important."
