M&G Fire Protection, a highly accredited fire system installation company, won ‘Fire Safety Installation Company of the Year’ at last week’s Fire and Security awards.
The company, owned by industry specialist Steve Middleton, was honoured for completing a complex, close to £1 million NHS project in London, which was delivered on time and within budget. A credit to their in-house expertise.
The fire system at Newham University Hospital required network wiring upgrades to support the current system and future upgrades. The old system couldn’t be expanded, and transmission times needed to be faster.
M&G worked alongside the Trust’s project team to design a new network of 98 Advanced MXpro 5 panels, while keeping the existing system live. They aligned the cause and effect, zoning, and alarm zones with HTM0503-Part B and the fire strategy.
Given the long-term nature of the upgrades, M&G designed the network to integrate future elements seamlessly. Therefore, they had to review the entire complex site.
Newham is a large hospital with A&E and maternity departments, so the main corridors or critical wards are always open and busy. The engineers’ activities could not be an obstacle to day-to-day activities, which sometimes made the project challenging. After seven months, the project was handed over. The Senior Project Manager from Turner and Townsend commended M&G’s work: “The team worked in harmony with the hospital’s day-to-day activities, and we cannot thank them enough for their hard work and congratulate them on a highly well-delivered project which our client Barts NHS Trust was happy with.”
In January, M&G Fire Protection celebrated 25 years of protecting life and property across London and Essex. The company offers fire safety solutions for small—and large-scale projects. Their services include designing, installing, commissioning, and maintaining fire systems, smoke control systems, and fire extinguishers, with fire damper services available nationwide.
Middleton said: “My most significant achievements over the years are having consistently happy clients and building a solid and knowledgeable team we can rely on. Our long-standing, dedicated teams are fundamental to us; our people make the company. We’re committed to doing things right without ripping companies off and making fire safety straightforward for our clients. I want to thank our brilliant team, clients, and suppliers. It’s been a fantastic 25 years, and the award tops it off.”
