FASS News

Fire and Safety Solutions Ltd (FASS) are pleased to welcome to the team at our Huntingdon head office, Kay, who is our first female Fire Extinguisher Technician.

Kay will be using her expertise in the supply of and servicing of fire extinguishers for our clients across Cambridgeshire along with the rest of the team, covering our extensive range of extinguishers for a variety of different applications.

Speaking on the appointment of Kay, Paul Wilkinson, Managing Director of FASS said; “I’m delighted to have Kay as part of our expanding team of qualified and expert technicians. There is no getting away from the fact that fire safety industry roles have been traditionally occupied by men, but there is no reason why this should be the case. So I am really pleased that Kay accepted the role and we have our first female Fire Extinguisher Technician here at FASS.”

If you would like to find out more about employment with FASS or you would like further information on Fire Extinguisher supply, installation or training, please contact us.

Fire and Safety Solutions Ltd (FASS) have always recongised the importance of delivering a professional and quality service to our clients and have always sought appropriate training for our staff to ensure that they can provide service and advice to the very highest standard.

In addition to training our staff, we also ensure the company as a whole performs to, and beyond, industry standards and actively seek relevant accreditation as not only a measure that our own internal standards are as good and as effective as possible, but also to reassure our clients, old and new, that FASS has a reliable and auditable record of excellence.

Key to these accreditation’s is ISO:9001:2008 which FASS have proudly been a member of for a number of years. However we are pleased to announce that we have transitioned to ISO:9001:2015 which brings with many benefits to our clients such as using resources more effectively to run projects efficiently which saves costs for our clients and detailed accountability for the project from start to finish.

Speaking on the recent update, Paul Wilkinson (Managing Director of FASS) said; “I am a great believer in being able to prove your experience and ISO:9001:2015 is a great reassurance to clients of our ability. As with many industries, talking at a sales meeting is one thing, but delivering what you promise is quite another. FASS have many years of practical installation experience, product experience combined with full staff training and industry accreditations. Clients can feel confident in not only the advice we offer, but the full service and aftercare we provide.”

Fire and Safety Solutions (FASS) offer our congratulations to Warner Edwards Gin on their recent Silver Medal win at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2018.

The Northamptionshire based craft distillery have been gaining high acclaim for their bespoke flavoured gins using locally sourced botanicals. All of which is distilled in their handmade still called ‘Curiosity’ – a work of art in itself!

With such a precious piece of equipment as ‘Curiosity’ and with a high volume of flammable liquids on site, Warner Edwards called upon FASS to offer our expertise and products with fire safety products that also reflected the beautiful copper still.

We are pleased to have been able to supply our copper effect ‘Prestige Range’ of extinguisher, seen pictured alongside the still at the Chelsea Flower Show and in addition we have been awarded the contract to provide fire safety equipment for Warner Edwards head office and warehouse facility.

Speaking on the recent contract, Managing Director of FASS, Paul Wilkinson said; “It’s great to be involved with a company such as Warner Edwards who take great pride and passion in their bespoke gin. It’s equally positive to see they also take safety just as seriously, especially with so much flammable liquid on site. Our copper range of fire extinguishers compliments the still perfectly and we look forward to working together.

At Fire and Safety Solutions Ltd (FASS) we have been established in the industry for many years now and many of our staff have decades of fire safety equipment experience, which is why we will only recommend, supply and install equipment that we feel offers the very best to our customers and is of the highest quality. We are therefor pleased to showcase the MODUM Fire Escape Ladder, which we believe is market leading for its high quality construction, discreet storage and excellent performance in an emergency.

We have been really impressed with the finish of the ladders which is a weather-proof anodised aluminum and comes in a range of colours. The ladder themselves fold away to discreetly sit against the side of the building and are suitable for buildings up to 3 floors high or up to 10 meters. Because the ladders are also tamper proof from the bottom but easy to release from the upper floors, this is a great product for ensuring the safety of people in buildings that are higher than a single story.

Speaking about MODUM fire escape ladders, Paul Wilkinson, Managing Director of FASS said; “These are a genuinely great product, I’ve seen many types of fold away ladders over the years but these have impressed me the most for quality and finish and also the way they fold away so you hardly notice them on the building. Being caught in a fire is nightmare situation for anyone, especially so if your escape route is blocked either by fire or smoke and you are faced with the prospect of escaping from an upper floor window. It makes absolute seems to fit these ladders which provide a quick, safe and reliable escape route for people – I can’t stress enough, if you own a building that is more than single story then give serious consideration to your fire escape route and whether a ladder such as the MODUM ones would be right for you.”

At Fire and Safety Solutions Ltd (FASS) we are pleased to now be able to offer to our customers a range of leasing options for both Fire Alarms and Fire Extinguisher equipment purchased through us where the single order cost is over £1000.

FASS has always sought to offer the highest quality service at the best possible price but understand that for many businesses, especially those just starting out, the cost of fire safety equipment that is often needed by law, can place a strain on cash-flow.

By taking out our UK Financial Services Authority (FSA) regulated leasing plan, you can spread the cost over 1 to 5 years and should you wish to upgrade your equipment at any stage, you can do this by simply restructuring your existing payments.

Speaking about the leasing service, Paul Wilkinson, Managing Director of FASS said; “Leasing offers a lot of benefits to people, but essentially it enables businesses to have the latest fire safety equipment installed right now without having to worry about the cost. Not only will that help businesses out who may not have the capital upfront, it also means they can be assured it’s not just cash-flow that’s not being compromised but also people’s safety isn’t compromised and they’ll be fully compliant with UK regulations.”
