We are incredibly proud to announce that IGS London – Infinite Group Solutions Ltd has been recognised at the Prestige Awards 2026, marking another major milestone in our journey as specialists in electric gate automation, gate safety, and intelligent access control.
While the trophy is certainly something to celebrate, it represents much more than a single project. The award reflects years of engineering, research, and innovation.
From the beginning, our goal has been simple: deliver every installation to the highest possible standard, put safety first, and continually look for better ways to improve gate automation for our customers.
Being recognised by the Prestige Awards 2026 for our innovative work is something every member of the IGS London team is incredibly proud of.
Recognition for Innovation in Electric Gate Automation
Our award recognises the innovative work IGS London has undertaken within the electric gate and gate automation industry, particularly our work involving articulated gate systems and improved gate safety mechanisms.
Many people see automatic gates as simple pieces of equipment. In reality, every powered gate is a substantial moving machine. It operates around vehicles, residents, visitors, children, and pets every day.
That means safety can never become an afterthought.
Every project begins with understanding the specific risks presented by the site. Whether we are carrying out an automatic gate installation, an electric gate refurbishment, or routine servicing, our engineers assess each site individually.
This includes considering potential crushing, trapping, dragging, shearing, and impact hazards alongside the mechanical integrity and long-term reliability of the gate itself.
Furthermore, our work with articulated gates has become an important area of innovation. These systems provide an excellent solution when traditional swing or sliding gates are unsuitable. This is particularly true where space is limited or driveway geometry presents unique challenges.
We develop solutions that maintain reliability, practicality, and ease of use. This engineering-led approach has become one of the defining characteristics of IGS London.
Why Gate Safety Comes First
At IGS London, we have always believed that a good-looking electric gate is only successful if it is also a safe electric gate.
Our engineers assess the complete installation rather than simply the motor. We follow the same approach when installing a new automatic entrance gate. We also apply it when refurbishing, repairing, or servicing an existing system.
Depending on the design and risk assessment of each installation, this can involve:
- Safety edges
- Photocells
- Obstacle detection
- Force limitation
- Hinge protection
- Mechanical retention systems
- Emergency release arrangements
- Access control integration
Every installation is different.
A residential swing gate presents different risks to a commercial sliding gate. Likewise, an articulated gate requires a different engineering approach from a traditional driveway entrance.
As a result, our engineers assess every project individually. This ensures each installation delivers the highest standards of safety, reliability, and long-term performance.
Continuous Improvement Through Better Engineering
One of the principles that defines IGS London is our commitment to continuous learning.
Rather than building a reputation by criticising other installers, we believe the industry improves when knowledge is shared and engineering standards continue to evolve.
Whenever we encounter an installation that can be improved, we first identify the root cause. We then explain the safest solution and help prevent similar issues in the future.
That same philosophy applies to our own work.
We continually review our installations, evaluate new gate automation technologies, and explore different engineering techniques that improve safety, reliability, and long-term performance.
If another engineer develops a better solution, we are always willing to learn from it. We believe that willingness to keep improving is one of the reasons the industry continues to move forward.
From a Growing London Gate Company to an Award-Winning Business
The last few years have been an incredible journey for IGS London.
We have continued expanding our expertise across electric gates, automatic gate systems, access control, intercom systems, CCTV, security, and electrical engineering while maintaining our specialist focus on gate automation.
Every installation presents its own engineering challenge.
Sometimes the solution involves designing an entirely new automated entrance. On other occasions, an existing gate can be refurbished and significantly improved. In many cases, the most valuable work involves upgrading the safety systems around machinery that has been operating for many years.
Our job is always the same: understand what the property requires and deliver a solution that is safe, reliable, and built to last.
Receiving recognition through the Prestige Awards 2026 is a proud moment because it reflects the engineering principles that continue to shape our business.
Award-Winning Electric Gate Automation in London
Being recognised as an award-winning electric gate automation company is an achievement everyone at IGS London is extremely proud of. However, we also understand that awards bring responsibility.
Winning an award doesn’t mean the learning stops. Quite the opposite.
Every project presents an opportunity to improve, whether that’s through better engineering, safer installations, or adopting new technologies that enhance reliability and performance.
Modern gate automation continues to evolve rapidly. From intelligent control panels and obstacle detection to advanced safety sensors and integrated access control, today’s technology offers more possibilities than ever before.
However, innovation only delivers real value when it is applied thoughtfully. For us, innovation isn’t about using the latest technology for its own sake. It’s about delivering safer, more reliable, and better-performing automatic gate systems for every customer.
Thank You to Our Customers, Suppliers & Industry Colleagues
Achievements like this are never the result of one person or one project.
We would like to thank every customer who has trusted IGS London with their homes, developments, businesses, and commercial properties. Your confidence in our work has allowed us to continue growing and developing our expertise.
We would also like to thank the manufacturers, suppliers, and industry professionals who continue to support us. The gate automation industry is built on shared knowledge, and every conversation, challenge, and collaboration helps raise standards for everyone.
Most importantly, thank you to the people who continue to support our belief that good engineering and gate safety should always come before shortcuts.
Every challenging installation teaches us something new, and every project helps us become a better engineering company.
What This Award Means to Us
Of course, we’re incredibly proud of the Prestige Awards trophy, and it will certainly have pride of place within the company.
However, what matters most is what the award represents.
It represents years of engineering, problem solving, and continually challenging ourselves to improve.
It represents the complex installations that required innovative thinking, the development of articulated gate automation, and our commitment to improving gate safety.
Most importantly, it represents our belief that a successful business can help raise industry standards by sharing knowledge, encouraging better engineering practices, and continually striving for improvement.
That philosophy will continue to guide everything we do at IGS London.
What’s Next for IGS London?
Winning the Prestige Awards 2026 is an important milestone, but it is by no means the finish line.
Our team will continue investing in engineering knowledge, specialist training, and modern automation technology while expanding our expertise in electric gate safety, articulated gate systems, automatic entrance solutions, access control, and security.
We will continue sharing what we learn, listening to other experienced engineers, and challenging our own methods to ensure every installation reflects the highest possible standards.
Above all, we will continue putting safety at the centre of every project.
While we’re incredibly proud to be recognised as an award-winning electric gate automation company, we’re even more excited about what comes next.
