Sunderland fire safety firm lands £100k contract with Sheffield Council

Sunderland-based fire safety business MacDonald Martin Ltd has secured a two year deal with Sheffield County Council, worth £100k, to provide fire safety measures for over 400 buildings.

The business will begin by carrying-out fire risk assessments in all of the council’s buildings, before maintaining all fire extinguishers throughout.

As a result of winning the contract, MacDonald Martin Ltd have taken on a full-time engineer to work on the project.

Andy Trafford, director and owner of MacDonald Martin Ltd, said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for us to expand our operations across Yorkshire.

“We are delighted to have secured the contract for Sheffield County Council and we are committed to providing the safest environments for people based there.

“The contract is for 12 months with the possibility to extend after that so our future in the county is looking very promising.”

Andy added: “Now that we have contracts in York and Sheffield, we are looking to expand even further across Yorkshire. The Sheffield County Council contract will open a lot of doors for us in that area.

“Securing this contract is great for us in terms of moving the company forward and we have more potential tenders in the area. These are very exciting times for MacDonald Martin.”

Work on the deal will begin on April 1.
