Worldwide winner

Optical beam smoke
detection company, Fire
Fighting Enterprises (FFE)
has won the International
Achievement category of the
Fire Excellence Awards 2011.

The Fire Excellence Awards
are held every two years, and
recognise the achievements of
companies in the fire
industry. FFE has achieved a
growth in overseas sales of
nearly 15% over the past
year.

FFE’s products are in use
all over the world, with
particularly strong interest
from Europe, and,
increasingly, the USA. The
company is able to offer its
optical beam smoke detection
products to virtually all global
markets, with certifications
from dozens of national
regulatory bodies and
support materials translated
into over 20 languages.

The biggest growth market
for the company has been in
the USA, with sales of over
£1M ($1.6M) there in the last
year, resulting from a 30%
per annum increase over the
last two years.

Service levels are always
being improved, with online
instructional videos now
added to the company’s
continuous ‘Beam 101’
training programme and site
visits that ensure all
customers know how to get
the best from their beam
detectors.
