Sigma Security Devices

In 1992 Sigma Security Devices changed the Method of Entry world forever by introducing the now famous Enforcer battering ram breaching tool. This revolutionary forced entry tool dramatically reduced the time it took to breach a closed door and proved an immediate hit across the UK. We are extremely proud of our close working relationships with our customers in the tactical entry community, and by constantly reacting to their operational feedback we have developed an innovative range of specialised yet user-friendly tools to help make forced entries as quick and safe as possible. In addition research into building and security technologies ensures new tactical breaching tools are always ready to defeat the latest security products when they appear on the market. Apart from supplying any breaching tool you will ever need, Sigma also meets the demand for all the ancillary equipment that goes along with forced entry. We have brought together the finest available personal protective equipment, storage solutions, search equipment, loudspeaker systems and vehicle arresting products, which really justifies our tag of ‘The One Stop Entry Shop’. Sigma has also developed strong alliances with other like-minded companies from around the world and stocks items from brand leaders such as Broco, Paratech, Cobra Optics, Nightsearcher and KP Industries. In addition, a network of agents in Europe, the US and Asia make sure that the name and reputation of Sigma is spread far and wide. Naturally the tool is only as good as the operator, so Sigma offers every level of tactical breaching training from basic hand tools, through hydraulic and pneumatic systems and up to thermal arc cutting. Courses can be carried out at our own training facility in London or at any location worldwide using our special transportable training rigs. Custom training rigs built to whatever spec you require can also be purchased for permanent installation or mobile training use.

Army Winter Sports Association

AWSA enables soldiers to develop military and technical skills on snow and ice - Alpine, Bobsleigh, Cresta, Luge, Nordic, Skeleton, Snowboard and Telemark. The Army Winter Sports Association (AWSA) was formed (as the Army Ski Association) in 1947, at the behest of Field Marshal Montgomery. “Monty” wished to provide a break from routine training and operations in the immediate post-war years, whilst developing military and technical skills on snow and ice. These reasons are still as valid today as then. Part of routine Army Winter Warfare Training includes teaching some soldiers to ski. From this basic level the more talented progress to various Army Ski Championships or branch out into the other winter sports disciplines. Most funding comes from the soldiers themselves, private regimental funds and sponsorship. Sponsorship is crucial and the key that enables it all to become affordable and to help AWSA ensure that the various competitions and events are run at the highest standards of professionalism and safety. The cost-effective benefit to the taxpayer is that soldiers are tested on leadership and management skills. Physical fitness is a must, team spirit is formed whilst real courage, endurance, and ‘guts’ are needed in all winter sports. In Army winter sports determination is required to carry out daily and rigorous training and to complete often dangerous or exhausting events. Decision-making under extreme pressure is practiced all the time and often has to be carried out in milliseconds. These are all requirements for the modern-day soldier.

Beyond The Wire

Beyond the Wire is a not for profit organisation that works to recognise and support all Armed Forces families as they cope with the grief and loss of their serving person, and the subsequent removal/departure from Armed Forces life. Through advocacy, research and campaigning, Beyond the Wire seeks to raise awareness about the unique challenges faced by military families when they experience the loss of their loved one. Currently the bereaved community exists in a 'grey space', somewhat of a void, neither serving nor veterans. Beyond the Wire is seeking a paradigm shift in the country's approach to the Armed Forces bereaved, with systemic policy and social change. The unique circumstances of military service, the complexities of grief, the long-term impact on children and young people, and the specific needs of bereaved families require a tailored approach. Concerns frequently raised include lack of emotional assistance, financial struggles, access to mental health services, housing and schooling challenges, loss of community and the relevant support networks, difficulty navigating bureaucratic processes. All of which exacerbate the grief and trauma experienced by bereaved families, which can leave some families, and most especially children, feeling isolated, neglected and unsupported in their time of need, with profound and enduring consequences.
