Secured by Design is a police organisation working alongside the Police Service in the UK, with the aim to achieve sustainable reductions in crime through design and other approaches that will reduce the demand on police forces and helps people live in a safer society.

Brinard Joinery is proud to be manufacture Secured by Design timber products, which showcases our commitment to providing only the best for all of our customers.

Secured by Design began working with industry bodies and manufacturers to tackle the variations in the quality of products being sold against the product that was originally tested. SBD now drives manufacturing markets (such as the timber industry), with test houses and certification bodies all created to meet the demand. Over a number of years, the organisation has raised awareness for the importance and benefits of security throughout the standards and construction industry.
