Recent Updates

As a BAFE registered company, Fire and Safety Solutions Ltd have received the following advice from BAFE that we would like to make clients aware of:

As BAFE Registered Companies will be aware, there are certain time period requirements when service and maintenance work should be performed for fire safety provisions and systems.

At present (17/03/2020), if a client is not permitting access on-site due to coronavirus precautions, please make sure you explain that this is their decision to not allow you to complete this work. It is the role of the premises management (i.e. Responsible Person/Duty Holder) to ensure they fulfill their fire safety obligations.

Advise them of any risk and if they still do not grant you access on-site, document this communication. This will provide evidence you have acted responsibly with your clients.

If you are allowed access on-site, please stay safe and follow appropriate coronavirus guidance to ensure you are not unnecessarily increasing risk to anyone in the premises or yourselves.

We will be regularly monitoring and reviewing advice that we receive and updating our own Covid-19 statement accordingly.

Fire and Safety Solutions (FASS) would be delighted to meet you at the Peterborough Biscuit Business exhibition on the 5th of February 2020 at the East of England Arena and Events Centre. The event showcases many of the regions local businesses and provides an opportunity to meet directly with exhibitors such as FASS , to discuss how we could help your business or project.

Speaking about the event, Paul Wilkinson, Managing Director of FASS said; “Events like these provide a real opportunity to discuss your possible fire and safety needs in an informal environment and it’s also a chance for us to showcase our services and experience. Peterborough Biscuit Business is the biggest B2B event in Peterborough and there is a wide range of exhibitors to see so it is well worth popping by – we would be delighted to see you and welcome you to our stand”.

Peterborough Biscuit Business runs from 9am to 5pm at the East of England Arena and Events Centre. For further details visit https://peterboroughbiscuit.co.uk/ or if you would like to speak to a representative of FASS, please contact us. We look forward to seeing you there!

At Fire and Safety Solutions (FASS) we always like to go above and beyond where we can. Whether that’s an exceptional quality installation or friendly advice on the correct fire safety products, doing our best runs through everything we do.

However, we are extremely proud and impressed at the commitment of two of our staff members, Sarah and Charlotte, to do all that they can to raise funds for our nominated charity, The Lisa Kent Trust (http://www.lisakenttrust.org/) by quite literally going above and beyond and throwing themselves off a mountain!

On Saturday 1st June 2019, Sarah and Charlotte will be making the long trek to the top of Babadag Mountain (1,969 m) near Oludeniz in Turkey. Braving the crazy road up, bracing winds, and shear drop; the girls will hurl themselves off the top to take the 40 min descent and hopefully arrive safely into the arms of their esteemed Employers (that’s us, by the way!) on Oludeniz Beach (with a Gin and T in our hands).

FASS have been closely associated with The Lisa Kent Trust for the last 5 years and currently assist 4 children through their education.  We would love to be able to raise adequate funds to provide the school in The Gambia with fitted Solar Panels, a project they have been considering for some time, but yet to complete.

To hear a little more about our fund raising directly from Sarah and Charlotte, please take a moment to listen to the audio clip below, taken from a recent interview with the girls on Huntingdon Community Radio.

Thank you.

Like all businesses, Fire and Safety Solutions are often focused on promoting our services, carrying out work for clients and in the every day life of business in the UK, it is very easy to loose sight of how fortunate we are. Sometimes it is not until you read the plight of others that you stop to reflect upon this and think about what you can do to help others. One of the easiest ways to give a little back to those less fortunate is though charity donations and FASS have long supported a number of charity and community projects which you can see here.

One such charity is the Lisa Kent Trust, a UK registered charity dedicated to providing the children of the Gambia with the education they need for a brighter future. The Trust has been working to deliver a quality education to children & young people in deprived communities of The Gambia since 2001.

FASS have directly sponsored  number of children in The Gambia, to help them receive the education that in the UK we take for-granted and to help give the children an opportunity of a better future.

We are always pleased to hear the children are doing well and are delighted to share with you the school reports we have recently received:

• Report number 1
• Report number 2

At FASS we would be grateful if you have the time to visit the LisaKentTrust website and read about the excellent work they do. Perhaps too, you would also like to sponsor a child to help them get a better start in life through education – details are available on the LisaKentTrust website, or a small donation to the charity to help with the building of schools – thank you.
