International trade award
June 1st 2009 Beam-type smoke detector
manufacturer, Fire Fighting
Enterprises has been
honoured in the Queen's
Awards for Enterprise 2009.
Over the last six years the
company has sold to over 70
countries worldwide, and
this award in the category of
'International Trade'
recognises its export sales
and overseas trade
achievements.
Ian Steel, current MD and
former sales director,
described the reaction of all
those at the company: "It is
fantastic to be honoured in
such a way, and really hits
home to all of us here that
our efforts over the last few
years truly have been
successful. It feels
particularly special at this
time, knowing that we have
performed so well even in
face of such general – and
global – economic
difficulties. But then you
can't put a price on safety, I
guess! We know that it
makes sense to sell into as
many markets as possible,
and this will only encourage
us to further improve on
what we've achieved so far."
The use of infrared beams
aimed across open spaces to
detect smoke particles can
be an efficient and costeffective
alternative to
'normal' point-type smoke
detectors, which does not
compromise on the quality
or level of fire safety.
The FireRay 5000 is the
latest addition to the
company's range,
incorporating automatic,
motorised beam targeting
optimisation amongst other
innovative features. More articles from Fire Fighting Enterprises Ltd: |
