ISSUE 174 July 2020


by Richard Hollis, Editor


IT’S heartening to hear that, despite the stresses and financial pressures of the past few months, business owners are still treating health and safety as seriously as they should. Fire system providers have been just as hard at work recently as ever, seeing as much of a lockdown boom as the skip hire industry.


Whether your sites have been empty for the past few months or you’ve seen orders spike from the lockdown de-clutterers, it’s still a good moment to take stock and ensure your site and assets are fire-safe.


Turn to page 16 to find what the leaders in the field have to offer to protect your staff and site.


As ever, please enjoy the magazine and don’t forget to follow us on social media – we always love hearing from you!
