Securi-Guard Fire and Security has announced a new professional partnership with one of the world’s leading manufacturers of life safety systems
Hochiki Europe (UK) Ltd has selected the South West’s largest independent fire and security specialist to be one of its approved Systems Partners in the region.
The partnership means Securi-Guard can give both existing and new clients across the South West access to a wide range of life safety equipment including fire detection and emergency lighting system solutions suitable for numerous commercial and industrial applications.
Bob Truesdale, Fire and Security Systems Manager at Plymouth-based Securi-Guard, said the company is seeking to forge a powerful alliance with a globally respected brand in the fire protection market.
“Hochiki has a long established reputation in the industry for offering quality fire detection solutions, backed by a wealth of both experience and expertise. I am equally delighted that our new partners recognise Securi-Guard’s standing in this highly competitive sector and have shown confidence in our ability to secure new sales opportunities for their products.
