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."
