GB Integrated Systems Welcomes Josh to the Team
We’re thrilled to announce the newest addition to the GBIS team, Josh, an experienced Fire and Security Engineer. With a strong background in delivering high-quality solutions across a range of fire safety and security systems, Josh brings a wealth of expertise and dedication to his role.
At GBIS, we pride ourselves on providing innovative, reliable, and compliant integrated systems to our clients. Josh’s technical knowledge and hands-on experience will further strengthen our capabilities and support our continued growth.
We welcome Josh to the team and wish him every success.
At GB Integrated Systems, we’re passionate about supporting local sport and this season we’re delighted to announce our sponsorship of Colne Ladies FC’s kit as well as Accrington Stanley Ladies FC’s talented player, Ashaara Bailey.
Our support for women’s football is part of a growing commitment to help grassroots and community teams thrive.
GBIS Director Scott Earing explains: “People might wonder why we are sponsoring more and more ladies’ football and netball players and teams as we move forward. The answer is simple — they need it more, and the little we can do, the more effect it has. If we can help just one or two up the ladder, then other companies might just follow in our footsteps.”
We believe that investing in local women’s sport not only benefits the players but also inspires the next generation. We’re proud to play our part, and we look forward to cheering on Colne Ladies FC and Ashaara Bailey throughout the 2025/26 season.

Thousands of businesses and homeowners across the UK are being urged to take immediate action following last year’s announcement that BT Redcare, one of the country’s leading alarm signalling services, will be shutting down on 1 August 2025.
BT Redcare currently provides alarm signalling to around 100,000 customers, ensuring that intruder and fire alarm systems effectively communicate with key holders and alarm monitoring centres in the event of an emergency. However, with the imminent closure of this service, affected customers must find a suitable alternative to maintain their security and compliance with insurance requirements.
If your property relies on BT Redcare for alarm signalling, your equipment will need to be replaced before the service termination date to ensure continued security monitoring. Failure to act in time could leave your home or business vulnerable, with potential implications for your insurance coverage.
At GB Integrated Systems, we understand the importance of seamless security transitions and are committed to helping new and existing customers affected by this change. Our expert team can assess your current system, recommend a reliable alternative, and ensure a smooth installation process so that your property remains protected.
With thousands of properties requiring upgrades before the August 2025 deadline, it is crucial to act now to avoid last-minute disruptions or potential gaps in your security coverage. If you currently have a BT Redcare system on your property, contact us today for expert advice on upgrading to a new, compliant alarm signalling solution.
