“LanGuard Alarms” burglar alarm, Brighton • And another vintage shield-bearer – I guess shields were popular in the olden days. It’s very similar to yesterday’s box, but with a bulb. Is that Lan as in Local Area Network, I wonder? Or Len and Allan or something? Hmmm, I’m getting deja vu, maybe I featured this one before. (Checks.) Ah, I featured a Kestrel sticker which had been placed over a LanGuard box a while back and I see from the comment there that Lan refers to Lang, the proprietors. Apparently they’re still going strong in the Brighton area, so this certainly isn’t indicative of their current look – there’s more info in the comment section below. • Spotted: Arundel Place, Brighton, East Sussex, BN2, England, 2010 • Politics: In the Conservative constituency of Brighton Kemptown
This firm I know very well. Languard is owned by Andrew and Hilary Lang. Good friends of mine. They run a very nice tight company in Brighton. They have the whole of Brighton sewn up. Andy Lang is very passionate about the industry. I think you are wrong about them being taken over… unless it has happened in the last few weeks… which I doubt.
Hi Andy – sorry, I worded it badly – the kestrel sticker was over a Languard alarm. I didn’t mean they had taken over the business. I’ll reword the entry to make it clear.
If possible….can you correct my terrible spelling :)
Job done – you’d said they had Brighton “sawn up”, which sounds rather terrifying. Though you mean quick typing, as opposed to terrible spelling, surely – that’s always my excuse, anyway.
