NPG Fire SafetyLtd: Company overview and growth
NPG Fire Safety Ltd, a fire safety company based in South Lakes, has announced plans for further expansion.
The company, established in February 2021 by Niall Graham, has seen its turnover grow by over 700 percent and now employs nine full-time staff.
NPG Fire Safety Ltd has moved to a new base in Burton-in-Kendal and plans to recruit more staff, open an accredited fire safety training centre in the South Lakes area, and grow its brand in north Lancashire and west Cumbria.
The company aims to secure contracts with both local businesses and national organisations.
New accreditations and services
The company has recently achieved British Approvals for Fire Equipment (BAFE) third-party accreditations for various services, including life safety fire risk assessments and the maintenance of portable fire extinguishers.
NPG Fire Safety Ltd is also accredited for security systems such as CCTV and intruder alarms through the NACOSS Gold scheme and holds NAPIT accreditation for electrical works.
Niall Graham, the owner and director, said: “I am proud to say that we are one of only two companies in the United Kingdom, out of the thousands working in the sector, to obtain all of these industry-leading third-party accreditations.”
Commitment to fire safety
Niall Graham, now the first and only fire consultant in Cumbria to become a Tier 3 Nationally Accredited Fire Risk Assessor with the Institute of Fire Safety Managers, emphasised the importance of third-party accreditation.
He stated: “We see the value in third-party accreditation and this has been something we have been working towards since 2022.”
NPG Fire Safety Ltd provides consultancy-led services, including fire risk assessments, fire strategies, and training for clients’ staff in fire awareness.
The company also offers the installation and maintenance of fire safety equipment and systems.
Recruitment and future plans
The company is currently looking for motivated individuals to join its team and has vacancies for fire risk assessors, fire alarm engineers/electricians, and apprentices.
Niall Graham said: “Our company is built on integrity, ethical business practices, delivering services for a fair and reasonable price and working with clients who appreciate that fire safety is more than just a tick box exercise.”
He added that since October 2023, all businesses must have a fully documented fire risk assessment, regardless of their size.
“Ultimately, it is about the safety of clients’ occupants and staff, but also the sustainability and resilience of the business as a lot of businesses do not recover from a severe fire.”
