Our Promise
Fully independent advice.
In your best interests.
We're not owned by — or affiliated to — any fire safety equipment suppliers. We'll only ever make recommendations that we deem necessary to comply with the Fire Safety Order.
Our core aim is to ensure our customers are equipped with the knowledge they need to protect their premises and the people in them, rather than to sell them products that may be unnecessary. As a customer of BPW, you can expect your best interests prioritised, and all your questions answered in plain English.
Your fire safety responsibilities as a business owner and employer are important not just in respect of statutory and insurance compliance, but also because the people who work on or visit your premises rely on you to ensure their safety. We'll help you meet your statutory duties, whilst at the same time advising you on what is best for the people you are responsible for.
BPW Fire Safety were highly recommended to Cumbria Education Trust by our H&S Consultant. We used BPW Fire Safety Ltd to carry out the Fire Risk Assessment at one of our larger secondary schools; their Assessor was very knowledgeable and thorough in his inspection of the school.
He provided a sound debrief on completion and produced a pragmatic, unbiased report that actually saved the Trust a significant amount of money when compared to a previous report carried out by a large FM company.
We fully intend using BPW Fire Safety Ltd for our future fire safety needs and training.
