Investing in the Future of Passive Fire Protection: Welcoming Our X2 New Trainees

At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to quality, safety, and the future of passive fire protection. That’s why we’re proud to announce the arrival of two new trainees joining our growing team.

This is an exciting step for our business and for the wider construction and fire safety sector across Exeter, Devon, Plymouth, and Torbay.

Why Training Matters in Passive Fire Protection

Passive fire protection isn’t just another trade – it’s a critical life-safety discipline. From fire stopping and compartmentation to penetration sealing, the standard of workmanship can make the difference between containment and catastrophe.

By bringing new trainees into the industry, we’re helping to:

• Raise standards across the sector

• Address the ongoing skills shortage in fire protection

• Ensure future projects are delivered safely and compliantly

Our trainees will be learning the importance of doing things the right way, first time, in line with current regulations and best practice.

Supporting Local Talent Across Devon & Cornwall

We believe strongly in developing local talent. By recruiting trainees from the South West, we’re investing directly in our regional workforce and strengthening our ability to support projects throughout:

• Exeter

• Devon

• Plymouth

• Torbay

This local focus allows us to deliver a responsive, reliable service while creating long-term career opportunities in a highly specialised field.

Hands-On Learning, Real-World Experience

Our new trainees will be working alongside experienced passive fire protection specialists, gaining hands-on experience on live sites. Their training will cover:

• Fire stopping systems and correct installation

• Understanding fire compartments and penetration risks

• Reading drawings and specifications

• Quality control and on-site compliance

Safety, attention to detail, and accountability are built into every stage of their development.

Looking Ahead

Welcoming these two trainees is more than a milestone – it’s part of our long-term vision. As demand for competent passive fire protection contractors continues to grow, investing in people ensures we can keep delivering safe, compliant solutions for years to come.

We’re excited to support their journey and look forward to watching them grow into skilled professionals within the industry.
