Marine Fire Safety has seen its workload in the South West of the UK double in the last couple of years and predicts a further 50% growth in the next two years, opening a new office/distribution centre in Bodmin, Cornwall on the strength of it.
Headed up by Gareth Hall who has spent the last two to three years of his nine at Marine Safety working as a mobile engineer, the new facility will streamline the business logistics and enable Marine Safety to offer new services including, BA (Breathing Apparatus) set servicing, flare disposal and collection and drop off services.
Mark Bresnahan, Managing Director of Marine Fire Safety Ltd comments, “The opening of this site will have huge logistical advantages to us as a business, which in turn will offer great benefits to our local customers. We have a large customer base in Cornwall which includes fishing and small commercial operators, all of whom operate to strict schedules and need the assurance of full compliance. It’s important that as a business we streamline our approach, to fulfil our customers’ requirements. An increased capacity to hold stock means our lead times to supply product is reduced and with a bigger service centre, the more products we can service will increase, which will have a positive effect on service schedules”.
Marine Fire Safety is looking to recruit an additional engineer to support the target and growth strategy.
