Mint

Mint is a trading floor operating company, whose website declares "Mint's business objective is to provide best execution for customers and 'best-in-class' facilities to its traders enabling them to facilitate a quality service."

The company commissioned Just Solutions Ltd to prepare the new open plan offices which they were going to occupy in the City of London. The task meant installation of all electrical systems and data network for the operation of, initially, up to 88 trading positions.

The system design defined a comms room at one end of the floor, secured away from the operational area and then structured cabling to feed all the necessary services to each of the proposed trading desk sites. Every desk was to be equipped with twin workstations, each using twin screens together with high speed data transmission for both direct trading links and internet access. Office telephone, mobile charging facility and laptop network access completed the desks equipment.

In addition to the data comms Just Solutions also designed and installed an access control system using biometric readers, working in conjunction with a Paxton Net 2 control system. At the time this configuration was ground breaking and Just Solutions' engineers were instrumental in solving the teething problems and hence ensuring a robust system.

Further to those installations Just Solutions were also solely responsible for both the cctv and the audio-visual display systems throughout the offices. All small offices were fed with satellite tv displayed on Plasma screens to provide access to the current financial information as required by the occupiers. In all Just Solutions were responsible for all the electronic and electrical systems and services in the company right down to supplying the kettle!

HJA Solicitors

Hodge Jones and Allen Solicitors purchased new premises in Euston and engaged Just Solutions Ltd to take care of all the security systems in the building.

A complex project which meant the installation of all necessary cabling for the cctv, intruder alarm, access control and audio-visual equipment. This work was carried out in co-operation with the builders and all work was co-ordinated to ensure the minimum time to completion.

The cctv and access control systems were both installed in a planned series of stages to ensure coverage and security were maintained throughout the rebuild process. The intruder alarm also was developed with the building in order to provide a safe environment for the companies equipment during the work.

All the systems were completed on time and to budget to further the confidence which the client had placed in Just Solutions.
