Synectics Security says the rebrand marks the start of a new era under the leadership of Chris Jepson
Specialist in security integration for transport infrastructure and vehicles Synectics Security is rebranding to Ocular Integration under new leadership. The company says the rebrand reflects its independence and visionary focus on delivering the latest technical solutions and innovations for protecting buses, trains, stations, depots, terminals, ports, and the people who use them. The changes also see the appointment of a new Managing Director, Chris Jepson.
With a ‘hands-on’ background in security technology engineering, particularly relating to intelligently integrated on-vehicle solutions for highly regulated urban transport providers, and over two decades of industry experience, Chris says he is ready to lead Ocular into what he believes is an exciting new era for the business.
He said: “Transport infrastructure and service operators face an increasingly complex array of challenges. The age-old need to protect revenues and ease cost pressures is often now seemingly at odds with finding new ways to guard against sophisticated physical and cyber security threats, work more collaboratively with stakeholders, and meet passenger expectations in terms of service provision. At Ocular, we have both keen vision and the ability to help customers navigate this tricky and rapidly evolving landscape.
“We have a vast network of technology partners and decades of technical and project management experience – projects always delivered in strict compliance with regulatory standards. All of which means that whether an organisation needs the latest in AI-based analytics, the ability to securely share system access or footage with authorities and/or insurers, or innovative new on-vehicle camera and mirror replacement technologies, we will always focus in on what matters to deliver solutions perfectly tailored to specific needs and budget.”
Attendees of Euro Bus Expo will be the first to see Ocular’s new brand identity in person, where the company will release more information, including details of new ‘on-board hub technology’ which it says is set to unlock new levels of integration and operational efficiency by revolutionising the on-vehicle eco system.
Ocular will continue to operate out of its Nottingham HQ, building on its highly experienced team and 45-year heritage established under the Quadrant Security Group and Synectics Security brands. In addition to working with many of leading transport organisations, including LNER, Nexus, Stagecoach, and Dublin Bus, the company also provides solutions for customers in government, high-security, public space, heritage, custodial services, utilities, and other critical infrastructure.
Chris added: “Ocular isn’t just a new name for us. It’s a rebrand that symbolises our unwavering dedication to a vigilant and forward-thinking approach to security. It epitomises our goal to deliver precise and reliable solutions that our customers can depend on completely. Now and well into the future.”
