We had an excellent experience exhibiting at Education Estates® 2024, held on 15–16 October at Manchester Central. The event brought together professionals dedicated to the planning, design, construction, and management of educational facilities across the UK.
Our primary aim was to showcase how Marshal Eye can enhance safety in educational settings—particularly through its applications in intruder alerts and first aid incident management. With the growing need for critical alerting systems in schools, our platform provides a dynamic and modern solution tailored to today’s educational environments.
Over the two-day event, we spoke with a diverse range of attendees, including school leaders, estate managers, and safety officers. Live demonstrations of Marshal Eye’s capabilities led to many meaningful conversations about the importance of agile, responsive safety tools in today’s education sector.
The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with many visitors highlighting the value of seeing the platform in action and praising its real-time alerting features. It was encouraging to see such enthusiasm for innovative technology that supports safer learning environments for both students and staff.
Taking part in Education Estates® 2024 not only allowed us to showcase Marshal Eye’s features, but also reinforced our belief that smarter, more responsive incident management tools are now essential in schools.
Steve was joined at the event by Craig Little, one of the newest trainers at North West Fire Training Ltd. While Craig is new to the team, he and Steve share a long history—dating back to 1994, when they first met after joining Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service. Here they are pictured after completing their recruits course. Both were posted to Broughton Station in North Salford, which at the time was one of the busiest fire stations in the UK. In 1995 alone, the station responded to over 270 house fires and more than 300 car fires. It was a tough but invaluable training ground for any new firefighter—especially in an era when few homes had smoke detectors.
