| Welcome to Alford Technologies |
|
Alford Technologies is the global market leader in designing and producing user-filled explosive charges for the military and police. User-filled charges offer many advantages over conventional, factory filled munitions, such as lower cost, speed to enter service and logistical savings such as storage and transportation, all of which become simple when you are dealing with empty charge cases.
We take pride in the fact that our tools are designed to be the best available, having been developed hand in hand with our customers to ensure that they are as simple and intuitive to use as possible. When a user has to use one of our systems for real, he needs to be able to concentrate on the job at hand knowing that the tools he has are going to work, which is why we spend as much time as possible getting out and seeing what they want to achieve, and, most importantly, the conditions they will be working under. Only then can we go away and design tools that will always work when you can’t afford to fail.
The award-winning company is fast growing and highly dynamic and prides itself in its ability to respond to customer needs with the speed and expertise required to meet urgent operational requirements.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Alford Technologies wins second Queen's Award for Innovation
We are proud to announce that we have been awarded a Queen's Award for Innovation for our entire range of liquid disruptors, including the BootBanger and Bottler. This is the second time we have won this award (the first was for the Vulcan in 2004) and it is considered the highest award for innovation in the UK. This award reflects the work we have done to support the efforts of our customers worldwide in combatting terrorist activities and especially IEDs and we would like to thank them for their support and loyalty over the years.
The award is to be presented to the company by the Queen's Lord Lieutenant later in the year and members of the company are normally invited to Buckingham Palace to be presented to the Queen.

Timewatch - Elizabethan Wreck Cannon Reconstruction
A documentary on the Alderney Elizabethan Cannon will be shown on Saturday 21st February on BBC 2 at 20.00 hrs. This is a must see as the programme features firing of a 400 year old replica cannon which was achieved by Alford Technologies.
The firing, recorded by a high speed camera was a great success, giving a huge insight into the way the Elizabethan navy fought. This is the flagship programme of a new series which will reveal the full findings of the Elizabeth's Armada mission.
