It is always a pleasure to visit businesses in Dartford and it was great to return to Kentec Electronics Ltd and hear about how well they are doing.
Since my last visit, the company has gone from strength-to-strength.
This firm, which manufactures life-critical fire control systems, began in 1985 and is based at Questor Industrial Estate in Dartford. It is a world leader in its field and all of its extinguishant and fire detection panels are designed and built in Dartford.
During my visit, I was shown around the site by the Managing Director, Kevin Swann and met employees working in all areas of the factory. This business is growing all the time, with 261 employees now working for it.
In the past three years, the company has won three key awards at the Security and Fire Excellence Awards, with the latest being the Active Fire Project of the Year award.
Kentec Electronics is a fantastic business in Dartford and it great to see them doing so well, I wish them all the best for a successful future.
