We are looking forward to working with PHS Compliance to ensure a smooth and seamless integration of the business.”

PHS Compliance managing director, Paul Caddick, added: “Fyr Fyter has been built on a commitment to customer care and industry-leading approaches to compliance with the Fire Safety Order and other safety legislation. This very much echoes our own standards of safety excellence and the group’s ethos of the best possible customer service.”

He also pointed out that Fyr Fyter’s mobile workshops can provide the logistics for rapid response to support customers, wherever they may be in the UK.
