Hi I'm Mark Jones, I spent several years in the landscaping industry, where we installed gates, fencing, and also managed projects of various sizes.

As an enthusiast of electronics, I completed an Electrical and Electronic Engineering qualification years earlier and worked on 2 way radio systems, CCTV, Audio visual and Telephone systems.

One day, while at a site to carry out some concreting work, I arrived at a customers location but was unable to enter due to a malfunctioning automated gate. The customer mentioned their difficulty in finding someone to repair it.

I retrieved my toolbox, fixed the gate, and subsequently repaired another gate for the customer's friend.

Identifying a market need for automation repairs, I launched “MWJ GATES” alongside my landscaping business.

The gate repair business expanded significantly, eventually occupying most of my time.

In 2017, I established Access Control Limited to enhance the business's professional image and to encapsulate the expanding range of services.

Since then, Access Control Ltd has seen growth in its team and now offers comprehensive services for automated entrance and access control systems, with engineers serving numerous parts of the UK.

Among our clientele are notable names such as Calor Gas, Boots, Barclays, as well as various schools and universities.
