Decibel Fire & Security protects Everyman Theatre’s new Grove Street facility

November: Decibel Fire & Security is continuing its long-standing relationship with Cheltenham’s Everyman Theatre, extending its specialist security services to the theatre’s new Grove Street facility.
The Gloucester-based fire and security company is now responsible for the Everyman Theatre’s fire and intruder alarm and CCTV systems and installations, providing ongoing protection and support across the iconic Cheltenham venue.
The relationship has been extended to the theatre’s new facility on Grove Street, known as the Everyman Education Centre.
The new centre provides an important additional space for the Everyman’s community and outreach programme, hosting workshops, talks, youth projects, community events and outreach sessions, as well as meetings for the theatre’s Spotlight Club.
As part of the new-build project, Decibel installed a comprehensive range of the latest fire and security technology, including CCTV, access control, fire alarms and intruder alarm systems.
The systems have been designed to provide robust protection for the building, its staff and visitors, while giving the Everyman team greater peace of mind that the facility is secure and compliant. At the main theatre site, Decibel provided a complete upgrade to all systems for fire and service compliance.
Gareth Bond-French, Operations Manager at The Everyman, said: “Decibel maintains the fire and security systems at the Everyman Theatre, so it was a natural step to extend our contract to cover our new Grove Street facility. They are a great team, providing a reliable, professional service, and we are delighted to continue working with them across both sites.”
Leon Mustoe, director at Decibel and client manager said: “We are thrilled to extend our security partnership with the Everyman Theatre, supporting both this iconic Cheltenham venue and its exciting new Grove Street facility. It is particularly rewarding to continue working with such an iconic client and to play a part in protecting a facility that will provide such valuable opportunities for the local community. We will deliver full maintenance programmes at both sites provide reliable, high-quality compliant solutions that give complete peace of mind.”
The project demonstrates Decibel’s ability to deliver tailored fire and security solutions for complex environments where protecting people, property and community facilities is paramount.
With an established track record across the education, commercial and public sectors, Decibel provides both installation and ongoing service and maintenance, helping customers keep their systems operating effectively and compliant long after installation.

🎉 Celebrating 10 years of Decibel Fire & Security! 🎉

August: Decibel Fire & Security has secured a three-year contract with the 2gether NHS Foundation Trust to monitor and maintain intruder alarms across 30 Gloucestershire sites.

Advanced monitoring systems are essential for protecting NHS properties, staff, and patients from unauthorised access. These insurance-approved systems feature strategically placed sensors, audible alarms, and comply with European standards to ensure reliable performance. Motion detection, perimeter protection, and visible deterrents such as flashing lights and manual activation points provide immediate response and comprehensive security for all entry points.

A representative from the NHS Trust stated: “Maintaining these systems is vital. We have partnered with Decibel Fire and Security, a local Gloucestershire firm, to implement a proactive maintenance programme supported by their industry expertise and local workforce.”

Craig Harris, sales director at Decibel said: “We already have experience working with the NHS on access control and CCTV, so taking on their intruder alarm maintenance schedules was a natural extension.”

Intruder alarms deliver visual, audible, and physical deterrents—including optional fog emitters—ensuring continuous protection and peace of mind.
