Fire safety firm’s anniversary

by Mark Rowe

Fireco will celebrate its 20th anniversary at The Facilities Show 2014; the annual facilities management event now at ExCel London from June 17 to 19.

Fireco was also at the recent FM Show in March and is hoping to increase its business in this sector. The products Dorgard and Freedor will be displayed on the Fireco stand. The makers say that these products allow fire doors to be kept open legally, using patented acoustic technology to automatically close the doors when a fire alarm sounds, preventing spread of smoke and fire.

Starting in 1994, he company name was previously Dorgard Limited, however, as the company has expanded its range of products to the likes of Freedor, Deafgard and DMS, a text message notification system to help those hard of hearing, the company name was changed to Fireco Limited to better represent its new products.

British Fire & Security (BFS) will be joining Fireco on the stand. BFS supplies, installs and maintains fire safety products and systems, with offices in the UK and Iraq. BFS recently signed a deal with the Marriot Hotel Group, helping the hotel chain to lead the way in supporting hard of hearing customers with the provision of the ‘Deafgard’ product, made by Fireco.

Neil Purssey, managing director of Fireco, said: “I am so proud of the journey that Fireco has been on over 20 years, becoming pioneers in innovative fire safety products. We have seen rapid changes in the last 20 years and I am focussed on continuing to evolve the company, ensuring that Fireco is still at the forefront of fire safety in 20 years time and beyond.

“I’m looking forward to celebrating this milestone anniversary with my team, our clients, contacts and the media on our stand.”
