“Liverpool is such a developing city that I believe there is going to be a rising demand for our services.
“Within 12 to 18 months, I want us to have been so successful that we have new premises with more jobs, in the offi ce and on the road, for local people.”
“Opening a Liverpool franchise is an important step in the development of our company and I am delighted that its operation is in the hands of such an experienced team”
“We have had the right level of support
from the head offi ce, whether it be for fi nance, marketing or recruitment, to ensure we can make this happen.” He added: “The key thing is that we
off er a local service. I am going to have dedicated Liverpool engineers who can respond to calls quickly and off er the personal touch. “We will also be launching our Switch
campaign in which businesses can save money by coming to us for all their fi re and security services.”
Steve Jackson, managing director of Jackson Fire and Security, said: “Opening a Liverpool franchise is an important step in the development of our company and I am delighted that its operation is in the hands of such an experienced team. “We are already a recognised brand in the city but this will give us a fi rmer foothold. Liverpool is taking off and I want us to be part of its exciting times.” Jackson Fire and Security employs 35 people across franchises in Liverpool, Warrington, Wirral, North Wales, Cambridge and Leeds.
