For expert help with your security – car, home or business – look no further than the Barker family.
Their two businesses combine big-company technical skills with the face-to-face customer service and satisfaction of a small company more than 50 years old. They are forging ahead, having moved from long-established premises on Fylde Road, Preston, to two modern units at Red Scar Business Park. “We are friendly and genuinely enjoy what we do,” says Base Systems general manager David Parkinson. “Our staff are technically knowledgeable, with more than 150 years of experience between them and we work with the best manufacturers and suppliers.”
Which is why they include businesses like the Marriott Hotels chain among their clients. Base Systems, who also supply car audio, began in 1968 and Vuetek Security Systems came on board in 2010. Use your phone’s apps on your car’s screen by having Apple Carplay or Android Auto installed. “Owners of older cars which do not have these systems often come to have them installed,” says operations director David Parkinson.
The high-tech Ghost immobiliser is also popular. Fit it and no-one will know, but if anyone who doesn’t know the code tries to steal your car, it’s immobilised. This Autowatch kit, for which Base Systems is the top local supplier, is thief-proof. Their engineers fit most vehicle electronic equipment including audio and security for cars, caravans and mobile homes – Base is the biggest supplier to the UK caravan industry and one of Pioneer’s biggest UK dealers. “We can make your vehicle secure, upgrade factory-fitted audio systems and speakers, install reversing cameras, parking sensors, a tracking system or dash cam kit,” says David.
Base Systems can work on commercial and leisure vehicles.
