I started working as an electrician and then progressed into a role at the Bank of England as a systems consultant. This gave me experience with high-end security systems, and after working at the Bank of England, I left to join Tyco as a systems consultant specialising in ANPR. The experience with ANPR then led me to form Atom Technologies which specialised in number plate recognition systems in the UK and USA. This then developed into ATL Alarms as we know it today!
I love seeing the company progress and grow.
I mostly use Xero and our CRM system.
If you follow us on social media, it’ll come as no surprise that in my spare time, I enjoy playing golf!
We take pride in delivering cutting-edge fire safety solutions tailored to the needs of unique venues like the historic Cambridge Corn Exchange. Our recent project involved a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade designed to go beyond basic safety compliance.

Seamus McKeon, Ark AcademyIt is without hesitation that I pen these lines in praise of ATL Alarms. Ark Academy is an all-through school serving almost 2,000 children from nursery through to sixth form and providing sports facilities, classroom and hall hire to our local community. ATL very quickly sorted out all the problems caused by our previous contractor with little to no disruption to our users and we had no hesitation in recommending them to the main contractor for the installation of the alarms in our new building.
ATL staff are without exception polite, personable and highly skilled. All appointments have been kept on time and where we have needed extra works they have gone above and beyond to ensure we always have a safe environment for our children. I am confident that when I call ATL I will be understood and will easily be able to explain what the problem is – their office staff like their engineers are knowledgeable, helpful and polite.
