Relocation for Yorkshire fire protection firm after tripling in size

Orange Fire Protection has relocated to new Wakefield offices after its workforce has tripled in size.

Founded in 2016, the firm has gone from eight to 26 staff in three years, and has moved into the new 6,500 sq ft premises at Queens Court to accommodate the growing team.

Previously based at Trinity Business Park, the fire protection company specialises in residential sprinkler systems as well as wet and dry risers.

The business growth has been attributed to increased awareness around the importance of fire safety following the Grenfell Tower disaster in 2017, which led to Orange Fire Protection securing a number of new contracts.

Orange Fire Protection director Lewis Klimo explained: “The fire protection industry is in much higher demand at present and we are receiving large numbers of enquiries about the services we offer, including high-tech sprinkler systems and water mist fire suppression systems, for various building types.”

Property agency Eddisons acted on behalf of Harrogate-based landlord Westcourt Group to secure the new Queens Court offices for the fire protection firm.

Eddisons’ head of agency Steven Jones added: “Orange Fire Protection works in the crucially important area of making our buildings safer and it was rewarding to be able to help them relocate to great new premises that will accommodate their growing team.”
