Fire safety company Jackson Fire & Security has opened its first franchise in the North East of England.
Carl Leah, the franchisee for the new branch, located in Yarm, near Stockton-on-Tees, is expected to create engineering jobs in the coming months as the company looks to fulfil the demand for its products and services.
Carl says: "This is a fantastic opportunity to extend our services in the region and to build a team that is on hand to serve customers and deal with maintenance or callouts across the area. Early indications are that we're going to be a busy branch and I am very much looking forward to the opportunity that will present."
Steve Jackson, managing director of Jackson Fire & Security, adds: "We're a national operator that likes to support businesses at a local level. We're excited by the opportunity that opening in Teesside presents, as it allows us to further extend our reach in the area while bringing new jobs and opportunities as the business grows and serves customers in the region."
Jackson Fire & Security has a team of engineers on hand to visit client premises to provide and service fire and security equipment, as well as ensure premises comply with legislation and British standards. The company offers fire extinguishers, alarms, emergency lighting, access controls and security systems with maintenance plans available on all equipment.
All Jackson Fire & Security products and engineers operate to the highest industry standards and accreditations (including the National Security Inspectorate gold certification), helping the company secure a good reputation for the high quality of its products and services.
Jackson Fire & Security currently employs 40 people across branches in North Wales, North West England, Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Cambridgeshire and Surrey.
