A Look Back at Paxton in 2023
Paxton Rewards
At the beginning of the year, we introduced Paxton Rewards, our new customer loyalty programme, globally. Installers can earn Rewards points by attending our free product training, scanning Paxton products, and completing other in-app achievements.
Installers can enjoy different benefits with the programme, including redeeming for Paxton products, receiving partner badges to show their expertise and elevated listings on our website. Paxton branded merchandise and Amazon vouchers are also available to be, providing options to spend points on what suits their specific needs.
Product Updates
New Net2 Video
Net2 is our flagship access control system, throughout 2023 there have been several updates to provide an increasingly simple-to-use and intuitive security solution. We recommend customers always run the latest version of Net2 for the best possible experience. We also created a new Net2 overview video to show what Net2 can do for you.
Road Shows & Exhibitions
Paxton Tech Tour
We launched the Paxton Tech Tour in France, Germany, Sweden, and South Africa. It is a free, half-day product experience show designed to demonstrate the simplicity of our solutions and how we can help installers grow their business.
Nearly 1,000 security installers from over 670 companies joined us at the events through February to September. Our teams continue to focus on innovative training, rolling out the ‘Toolbox training’, and here is a spoiler…we plan to bring back the Tech Tour next year.

ISC West
We returned to ISC West in Las Vegas once again this year. We showcase the new Paxton Rewards programme and live product demonstrations to our US customer base. Thank you to everyone who came by our stand. It was a great show.
The Security Event
This was a first for us this year. We got to show many existing and new customers our diverse range of access control solutions on our new bespoke demonstration stand. It was a busy couple of days, and we enjoyed some great interactions with our customers and the security trade press.
New Facilities & Qualifications
Paxton Electronics Centre
As part of our continued global expansion and increased demand for security products and services, we officially opened a brand-new manufacturing facility called the Paxton Electronics Centre. The manufacturing facility houses our Printed Circuit Board assembly lines and is where all electronics manufacturing of Paxton products takes place.
Adam Stroud, CEO, explains: “As a proud UK technology manufacturer, this investment confirms our commitment to international growth, local jobs, and British manufacturing. We continue to invent and develop forward-thinking real-world security solutions for our valued customers globally.”

South African Paxton Experience Centre
Our first Paxton Experience Centre in Johannesburg is open and welcoming security installers and end-users. The centre showcases our core product range; Net2, Paxton10, Entry, and PaxLock. Paxton experts are also available on site to conduct product demonstrations and discuss customers’ specific installation projects whilst getting hands on with our solution.

Test Facility Opens
Brighton EMC is our public facing test house. It earned UKAS accreditation, making it one of the leading commercial EMC test laboratories, with the added benefit of short lead-times of up to 4 weeks.
The Brighton EMC is the former Paxton Test Facility and was re-branded to allow greater visibility and recognition as an independent UKAS accredited test house.
Director Appointments
Steve Taylor, Chief Technical Officer
Steve brings with him a wealth of experience in technology and engineering from the renewable energy sector. His expertise will be invaluable to our journey as we continue to expand and innovate internationally, particularly whilst developing initiatives for greener manufacturing strategies in the coming years.
Adam Stroud, CEO, said: “The appointment of Steve Taylor as CTO will build upon the department’s ability to design world-class products by utilising the best technologies to create innovative security solutions that customers want.”
Blair Bowen, Divisional Director of Manufacturing
Blair was promoted to oversee exciting expansion of our manufacturing operations. It had been a busy year for Blair and his team, including the launch of the Paxton Electronics Centre, introducing plastic injection moulding.
Blair said: “I came to Paxton to gain responsibilities and expand my range of skills. Being promoted to Divisional Director is an incredibly rewarding step on this journey and reaffirms the reasons I joined.”
Charity & Community Initiatives
Teenage Cancer Trust &NAMI
This year as our Charity of the Year, we supported Teenage Cancer Trust in the UK and National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) in the US. In total, we raised over £1,400 collectively through charity day activities.
Mentoring Young People
For the third consecutive year, Paxton people volunteered to be mentors for young people through the Dare to Dream programme, an initiative by the Love Local Jobs Foundation. Paxton mentors paired up with Year 9 students at Willingdon Community School in Eastbourne, to challenge the way they think about their future and help them set life goals.
The Paxton Scholarship Programme
For the sixth year, the 2023 scholars joined us over the summer to gain experience working on real-world engineering and development projects. They are Alex Moreton and Max Lewandowski from University of Brighton, and James Napp from University of Sussex.
We also hosted the Scholarship Open Day in November to invite students from Universities of Brighton and Sussex to apply for next year’s programme.
