ACEDA expands with fire division and Newcastle office

Teesside-based ACEDA has launched a dedicated fire division and opened a new office in Newcastle as part of its ambitious national growth strategy.

To lead this next phase, the company has appointed Chris Pattinson as chief revenue officer. 

Chris brings more than a decade of experience in fire and security, having successfully scaled his family business before leading commercial performance at a national provider.

In his new role, he will oversee sales, business development and client relationships, with a focus on driving growth, expanding into new sectors and boosting recurring revenue while maintaining ACEDA’s reputation for high-quality service.

The BAFE-accredited fire division will provide fully compliant detection and alarm services – from design through to maintenance – complementing ACEDA’s existing security, electrical and network infrastructure expertise.

Chris said: “ACEDA has an incredible track record in delivering high-quality projects for major clients across the UK. 

“With our new Newcastle office, the launch of our fire division, and our BAFE accreditation, we’re perfectly positioned to expand our service offering, enter new sectors, and build long-term partnerships with clients. 

“My focus will be on accelerating our growth trajectory and delivering a significant increase in recurring revenue over the coming years.

“It’s an exciting challenge for me and a natural progression based on my previous experiences. 

“I’m delighted to be a part of the ACEDA team and look forward to helping the company grow.

Nick Harker, ACEDA managing director, added: “Chris’ appointment marks the next stage in ACEDA’s evolution. 

“His expertise and leadership will help us strengthen our market position, broaden our service portfolio and execute on our ambitious five-year growth plan.”
