“Wireless is the future of fire systems and I know that we have the products to meet global demand, coupled with a global network of established partners and the best customer support in the sector.”
Tom Crane’s transition and reflections
Tom Crane, the outgoing International Director, is set to embark on a new venture as the President of Firetrace, another entity within Halma plc.
He will collaborate closely with Murray to ensure a smooth transition.

“As I move on to new challenges, I’m confident that Ollie’s vision and leadership will propel Hyfire to even greater heights.
“I look forward to seeing the continued success and growth of this remarkable company.”
