Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 aka Martyn’s Law will change how we think about protecting people and premises, sparking very important conversations for resellers and their customers.
What does the legislation mean in practice?
What does a prepared site look like?
How do I advise my customers on what will help them to adhere to the requirements?
Join ProVu, Algo and 2N® on Thursday 19th November 2026 at 11 AM for an engaging, practical webinar exploring this law and the role technology can play.
We’ll break down the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, exploring the Standard and Enhanced Tiers and what they mean for different premises.
Then, we’ll bring the discussion to life with a hypothetical real-world examples, looking at how a site could prepare for emergencies including evacuation, lockdown and invacuation.
From emergency alerting and communication to access control, we’ll explore how the right technology can help businesses plan their response and coordinate action when it matters most.
Meet Your Expert Speakers
ProVu’s Joe Walberg (pictured), Algo’s Mike Greenwood and 2N®’s Chris Holmes will share practical insights into the challenges businesses may face and the solutions that can help.
They’ll also explore the questions resellers should be asking customers, helping you hold informed conversations and identify opportunities to support them.

Get Ahead of the Conversation
Whether you’re already discussing Martyn’s Law with customers or looking to build your knowledge, this is an opportunity to feel more confident about the conversations ahead. ProVu will be on hand to support you via 01484 840048 or contact@provu.co.uk
Managing multiple customers, sites and Omada devices can become a lot of admin.
Unlike devices using standards such as TR-069 and TR-369, TP-Link Omada devices use their own management platform. This means they need to be assigned to the correct customer site before they can be deployed.
That’s where ProVu’s zero-touch provisioning service can help.
Once your account is set up, ordering Omada devices through ProSys is simple.
When ordering, provide the Omada site name (existing one or create a new one).
We’ll use the details from your order to:
Create the relevant customer site
Add the devices to the correct site
Handle the required device info
Prepare the devices for deployment
So when your equipment arrives, it’s already linked to the right customer and location, ready for the next stage of setup.
Supporting Both Omada Deployment Options
Whether you use TP-Link’s cloud-hosted Omada platform or choose the self-hosted option, we can help.
With self-hosted deployments, devices are added using a device key or device ID rather than the serial number. As this information isn’t available on the outside of the box, it can create an additional manual step.
We work with TP-Link to obtain the required device key / ID in advance, allowing us to configure these devices without your team having to handle the process themselves.
Getting started is simple. Speak to our team and we’ll walk you through the requirements for setting up your Omada push service.
Once your account is ready, just provide the relevant customer and site details through ProSys when you order. We’ll take care of the pre-configuration before your devices leave ProVu.
Explore the full range of TP-Link Omada products and prices via our reseller portal, ProSys. Call us on 01484 840048 or email contact@provu.co.uk to place your order.
Whatever your requirements, we’re here to help. Chat with us today (via 01484 840048 or email contact@provu.co.uk) to discover how we can help enhance your business. From choosing the right hardware through to provisioning, deployment and ongoing management, we’re ready for your call.
As the implementation of Martyn’s Law (The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025) moves closer, organisations responsible for premises with an expected capacity of 800 or more people (including staff) should already be reviewing their security and emergency response plans.
If any of your customers manage a:
✓ University or college campus
✓ NHS Trust or major hospital
✓ Theatre or concert venue
✓ Stadium or sports venue
✓ Museum or large art gallery
✓ Exhibition or conference centre
✓ Large place of worship
✓ Major visitor attraction
✓ Civic building or public venue
then it is likely to fall within the Enhanced Tier.
Enhanced Tier Brings Additional Responsibilities
Unlike Standard Tier, Enhanced Tier organisations are expected to demonstrate a more comprehensive and documented approach to protecting people from terrorist incidents.
This includes taking reasonably practical steps to:
✓ Assess the risks specific to your premises
✓ Develop and maintain security procedures
✓ Coordinate response across multiple teams & locations
✓ Control access to buildings and sensitive areas
✓ Communicate with staff, visitors & emergency services
✓ Support evacuation, lockdown & invacuation procedures
✓ Review, monitor & continually improve security
Technology alone doesn’t create compliance, but the right solutions can play a crucial role in supporting these responsibilities.
Build a Connected Security & Communication Strategy
A modular intercom that combines video door entry, credential-based access control and integration with wider security systems. The Licence enables advanced automation and integration with third-party platforms.
Purpose-built for high-security perimeter entrances, the Force 2.0 delivers vandal-resistant audio and video communication at vehicle entrances, loading bays, staff entrances and public access points.
High-intensity visual alerting helps ensure emergency notifications are seen as well as heard, improving accessibility and awareness across busy public spaces.
Large venues often require more than simply broadcasting announcements.
From a single operator console, security teams can monitor events, initiate emergency broadcasts, communicate with staff, view live video feeds and coordinate responses across multiple buildings or sites.
The Fanvil A330i Unified Dispatch Console provides a central communications platform that combines SIP paging and public addressing, intercom management, emergency broadcasting, live video monitoring, alarm management, remote device control, visual dispatch and incident coordination.
The Fanvil A513W Video Speaker is designed for environments requiring enhanced monitoring and rapid communication. Combining HD video, two-way SIP communication, emergency broadcasting and remote monitoring, it enables security teams to communicate directly with people at key locations while supporting wider incident management procedures.
The 2N IP Verso 2.0 can integrate with Milestone XProtect and other ONVIF-compatible Video Management Systems, allowing operators to combine visitor management, door entry and live video into a single operational workflow, improving situational awareness during both everyday operations and emergency incidents.
Prepare Before Enforcement Begins
The statutory guidance for Martyn’s Law has now been published, with enforcement expected in Spring 2027.
Now is the ideal time to prompt your customers to review their existing infrastructure and consider whether their communication, access control and incident management systems are capable of supporting the wider preparedness strategy.
Ask your customers:
✓ Can security coordinate across multiple buildings?
✓ Can you communicate with thousands immediately?
✓ Do your access and CCTV systems work together?
✓ Can emergency announcements reach all indoor and outdoor areas?
✓ Do operators have a single platform for managing communications during an incident?
If the answer to any of these is “not yet”, we can help.
How Can ProVu Help?
Our Technical and Sales Teams can work with you to identify solutions from 2N, Algo and Fanvil that will best support your wider Martyn’s Law preparedness strategy and integrate with your existing security infrastructure.
We can also help speed up your setup time through our pre-configuration services, meaning that all your hardware will arrive ready to plug-and-play straight away. One less headache for your customers’ teams. On top of this, we can also ship items in your own branded packaging so your customer knows it’s come from you, and we’ll be your behind-the-scenes wingmen.

Members of our team are preparing to take on one of Yorkshire’s most demanding walking challenges this month, with the aim of raising vital funds for local charity Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice.
The challenge will see the team complete the 24-mile route through the Yorkshire Dales, taking in the three peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, with approximately 1,585 metres of ascent to conquer along the way. The team will also be working against the traditional 12-hour target for completing the route.
Five staff members will be completing the climb on Saturday 12th September 2026 (photographed left to right):
Technical Solutions Director Muhammad Bajwa
Sales Development Representative Andrew Riding
Managing Director Justin Carl
Technical Support Team Leader Luke Warby
Group Marketing Manager Kate Figg
The challenge forms the first event in a planned programme of fundraising activities by the ProVu team, with the aim of supporting the work of Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice, which provides care and support to children with life-shortening conditions and their families across West Yorkshire and surrounding areas.
Commenting on the challenge, ProVu’s Managing Director Justin Carl said:
We have all been touched by the amazing work Forget Me Not does for families across our local area and we wanted to do something that would not only raise money but also challenge us as a team.
The Yorkshire Three Peaks certainly gives us a challenge! Twenty-four miles and three peaks is going to test us and I’m sure there will be some very tired legs and aching feet by the end of it.
This is just the first event in our fundraising calendar and our aim is to raise as much as we can for this incredible charity. We’re really looking forward to getting out there, taking on the challenge together and hopefully getting plenty of support along the way.
Justin Carl
The team is encouraging customers, suppliers, partners and friends to support their fundraising efforts, with every donation helping Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice continue its work with local families.

Recently our Sales Operations Manager, Joe Walberg, and Technical Sales Executive, Ren Kingdom, visited Yealink’s Experience Centre in Canary Wharf, London to gain a deeper understanding of Yealink’s latest AV solutions and collaboration technologies.
Despite facing a challenging commute during one of the hottest days of the year, with temperatures reaching 36°C in London, the visit proved to be an invaluable experience and well worth the journey.
During their visit, Joe and Ren met with Naji Kaanan, Business Development Director for Yealink AV Sales UK, along with one of Yealink’s Technical Presales Engineers. Together, they explored Yealink’s extensive portfolio of products and discussed the additional services that ProVu can offer partners alongside Yealink solutions, including installation services, advance replacement options, and extended warranties.
A key part of the day focused on how Yealink’s product range compares within the wider collaboration and AV market. One of Yealink’s strongest differentiators is its commitment to certification and interoperability. Many of its devices are certified for Microsoft Teams and Zoom, while also supporting a wide range of plug-and-play integrations. The team was particularly impressed by the fact that Yealink’s MeetingBar range is fully MDEP-ready, helping customers future-proof their meeting room VC solutions.
MDEP (Microsoft Device Ecosystem Platform) is Microsoft’s enterprise-grade Android-based operating system designed specifically for business collaboration devices. Many products within Yealink’s portfolio are Microsoft Teams Certified and built to support MDEP.
Being MDEP-ready means Yealink’s MeetingBars and collaboration devices are designed to integrate with Microsoft’s ecosystem, providing simplified deployment, enhanced security, ongoing software support, and a more consistent user experience. For organisations investing in meeting room technology, this helps ensure long-term compatibility and easier device management.
The main focus for Yealink and ProVu is how the customer might use something, and create the best possible environment for the end user. Rather than focusing solely on individual devices, Yealink demonstrated how carefully selected product combinations can improve meeting room productivity and usability. Ren and Joe saw first-hand how Yealink’s camera technology, touch controls, and meeting room displays work together to deliver a streamlined and intuitive meeting experience.
One standout example was the combination of the MTower intelligent camera and the CTP25 touchscreen control panel. The CTP25 is part of the MeetingBar A25, A40, and A50 bundles, allowing organisations to choose a solution that best matches the size and requirements of their meeting rooms.
One of the most valuable aspects of the visit was the opportunity to see the technology operating in a real-world environment and to gain hands-on experience with the devices. Being able to interact directly with the products provided a much clearer understanding of their capabilities, use cases, and deployment options.
After a busy day of demonstrations, discussions, and product exploration, the group rounded off the visit with a well-earned drink together while taking a break from the summer heat.
Reflecting on the experience, both Ren and Joe agreed that seeing the technology in action gave them a far greater appreciation of Yealink’s solutions and how they can benefit ProVu’s partners and their customers.
If you would like to learn more about Yealink’s collaboration solutions or discuss the products featured during the visit, please contact us on 01484 840048 and ask for Ren or Joe, or you can or email us.
We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve chosen to support Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice.
Why Choose Forget Me Not?
“Life limiting.” “Life shortening.”
These are the terms no parent wants to hear. But sadly families hear those phrases for the first every day.
And it’s the incredible people at Forget Me Not who help children and families across the whole of Yorkshire to cope with the news, handle the medical jargon, and be there for families for however long they need them. Sometimes it’s years of support with a loved one, sometimes the loved one has only only hours or days. No matter the length of time the child is here, Forget Me Not can kindly help the family to navigate very emotional and difficult times.
Forget Me Not Charity does amazing work in the surrounding areas in which ProVu and our staff live. As a company that values family – some of whom are or soon-to-be be parents, we wanted to reflect this value in our choice. Last year we did adhoc fundraising for Forget Me Not. Now we’d like to step it up a notch and raise more to contribute to the overall costs of operating the hospice and its services.
The work Forget Me Not does to support local families is incredible. It ranges from fun days out to make memories through to support liaising with police and hospitals. Their day-to-day responsibilities bring a tear to the eye.
Right now, the charity is helping 165 children and their families; their parents, siblings, and grandparents.
Forget Me Not needs 7 million GBP to continue their great work for another year. With only 18.5% of this is government funded, they need companies like ours to work hard and play hard to raise funds. From world cup sweepstakes to physical challenges, we’re putting our heads together to choose how we’ll do this.
