Fire protection firm expands in Calderdale

Fire protection firm Checkmate Fire has moved into new, larger offices in Calderdale as it continues its expansion across the UK.

Checkmate Fire, which provides professionally managed, cost-effective and quality services protecting homes, businesses and organisations is now based in Elland.

The firm’s staff based at it’s north of England base had been in Brighouse for six years before the investment in the new 1,800 square foot offices on the Lowfields Business Park in Elland.

Formed in 1990, the company is one of the leading names in passive fire and air sealing protection.

Working with high profile clients across the UK, including Great Ormond Street Hospital, Harrods department store and University College London, they are able to survey and assess, design solutions and then install services offering high quality, reliable fire protection.

Mark Williams, managing director, said the new office was part of the company’s plans for continued growth nationwide: “We had outgrown our Brighouse premises and the time was right to invest in a new headquarters for Checkmate Fire as we take on more work across Yorkshire and around the UK.

“Our Elland base provides easy access to the motorway network enabling us to service our clients effectively across the north of England.

“Checkmate Fire is growing nationwide with more businesses and organisations recognising our complete solutions to passive fire protection are important to their buildings and development projects.

“We are proud to provide professionally managed, cost-effective, high quality services and look forward to being able to work with more clients in the months ahead as a result of this move.”
