About the employer

Facilities Fire Protection Ltd was originally formed in September 1997 to design, install, service and maintain specialist fire detection and alarm systems, primarily in Co-Location Data Centres plus other numerous commercial and industrial premises. From the outset it was apparent that the growing IT sector plus the increased level of sophistication of buildings management systems require a particular need for specialist fire detection systems with a strong emphasis on providing a high-quality service backup. Facilities Fire Protection Limited strive to provide an efficient and personal service to all our clients, for both their projects and servicing requirements. Our company employs staff who are fully aware of the need to fulfil all the customers’ requirements wherever possible. All our personnel are specially chosen not only for their technical ability but also for their customer approach. Facilities Fire Protection Limited currently has a small but highly qualified group of personnel. However, continued growth within the IT sector means FFPL require further engineers who are capable of servicing and maintaining all forms of fixed fire extinguishing systems, hand portable extinguishers, fire detection systems (both conventional, radio and analogue addressable) plus aspirating smoke detection systems.
