Hawthorne is built on good people.

From engineers and operations through to leadership, every part of the business plays a role in helping keep our customers supported, protected and looked after properly.

As we continue to grow, one thing remains incredibly important to us: building a business people trust not just for the systems we install, but for the people behind them too.

Because long after the installation is complete, it’s the people, communication and support that customers remember most.

Looking for a reliable security, fire or access partner in the heart of East Anglia? Our team’s always happy to chat.

CCTV is generally more useful when pointed at…
the thing you’re trying to protect.

If your cameras are spending more time tracking cloud formations than site activity, a reposition may be overdue.

Out of sight, out of mind… until they're needed.

High-level cameras are some of the hardest-working parts of any security system. They're also some of the most forgotten.

Mounted on poles, columns and rooftops, protecting the areas you need visibility on most. They quietly battle wind, rain, sun and salt air, year after year.

The problem?

You usually don't notice the issue until you're trying to review footage that matters.

Faded housings. Spider webs across the lens. A camera pointing somewhere it definitely shouldn't be.

A maintenance contract isn't about ticking a box. It's about making sure that when something happens, the footage is actually there. Clear, working, and pointing in the right direction.

Because a camera that looks like it's recording isn't the same as one that is.

If your high-level cameras haven't been checked in a while… they're probably overdue. Our team's always happy to take a look.

The Great Train Robbery of 1963 became one of Britain’s most famous crimes after a gang intercepted a Royal Mail train carrying millions in cash.

The robbery began by tampering with railway signalling equipment before the gang escaped with what would now be worth tens of millions of pounds.

What followed was one of the biggest manhunts in British criminal history, with investigators eventually tracing the gang through the evidence left behind.

It remains a fascinating reminder that security weaknesses, planning, and human error have always played a role in some of history’s most famous incidents.

Because good security isn’t just about protecting assets.

It’s about identifying risks before someone else does.

The Great Fire of London began in a bakery on Pudding Lane in 1666.

What started as a small fire quickly spread through tightly packed wooden buildings, eventually destroying large parts of the city over four days.

Disasters like this helped shape many of the fire safety principles still used today.
Because history has shown repeatedly that small risks can become major consequences when prevention comes too late.

Whether it’s fire detection, maintenance, emergency lighting or system servicing, good fire safety is rarely noticed until it’s needed most.

A barrier should open promptly.

Not after what feels like a brief internal debate.

Slow operation is often the first sign something needs servicing.

A new chapter for Hawthorne.

We've officially moved into our new home at Hellesdon Business Park, a fresh base of our own, and the next step in the story since rebranding from SSY.

The team's the same. The number's the same. The standards are the same.
The postcode is new.

It's a small move on paper, but a meaningful one for us, somewhere that genuinely feels like Hawthorne, built around the people and the business we're continuing to grow.

Proud to keep supporting businesses across the heart of East Anglia from our new home.

Security footage should identify people.

Not create folklore.

If reviewing your CCTV feels more like paranormal investigation than site security, we should probably fix that.

Behind every engineer visit, service booking, site survey and support call… there’s usually someone helping keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes.

For many of our customers, that person is Eve.

From organising engineers and supporting clients to answering questions and keeping things moving day-to-day, Eve plays a huge role in the Hawthorne team.

As the business continues to grow, one thing remains incredibly important to us: making sure our customers always feel supported, looked after and able to speak to real people who genuinely care.

And we’re very lucky to have exactly that in our team. 💛

In 2000, a gang attempted one of the boldest robberies in British history at the Millennium Dome.

The plan involved:
• a JCB
• smoke grenades
• a speedboat getaway
• and the Millennium Star diamond

What they didn’t plan for properly?

The security response already waiting for them.

Sometimes the best security systems are the ones nobody notices until they matter most. Get in touch to discuss yours.
