RECOM Solutions expands passive fire operations in Birmingham
RECOM Solutions has opened a Birmingham office for its passive fire protection division to support projects across the Midlands, the M6 corridor and the south west.
The company said the new RECOM Fire Solutions base at Fort Dunlop will support an expanding pipeline of work in those regions.
The division is led by Sarah Leadbetter.
Its management team has grown from nine to 18 people in just over a year.
Around 60 operatives are currently working on projects across the country.
The division carries out work in live environments for clients in education, healthcare, residential, defence and facilities management.
Services include compartmentation surveys and fire door condition surveys along with fire stopping remediation and fire curtain installations.
Division outlines growth plans following expansion
Leadbetter said: “Our new office underpins our ambitious plans for the division and gives us a strong Midlands presence in line with our growth.
“It will support our work across the region, along the M6 corridor and in the south west.
“Passive fire protection plays a critical role in helping organisations safeguard their people, property and operations.
“Our mission is to create safer buildings and communities by helping clients develop and implement strategies that mitigate risk.
“By taking a project management approach, we get to understand their estates, tailor the solutions we provide and build long-term, trusted relationships.
“Our technical expertise, deep sector knowledge and experience of working in live environments allow us to deliver fully compliant solutions with minimal disruption.
“This approach has driven significant growth for RECOM Fire Solutions as we continue to invest in the team to support further expansion.”
RECOM Fire Solutions forms part of the RECOM Solutions group, which also delivers project management consultancy and main contracting construction work.
The group was founded in 2015 by Jason McKnight and Joseph Dillon, who met as construction management students at the University of Salford before later working together at Bovis Lend Lease.
RECOM has its headquarters in Salford Quays.
