Conversations at Firex...

Firstly, the type of detection being installed has continued to evolve. From the conversations held on our stand, it seems ASD systems continue to rise in popularity with a significant number of visitors coming to our stand to talk about the sites where they have installed these systems and the challenge of then ensuring on-going testing and maintenance. 

From our own customer survey’s we’ve known that the use of multi-sensor detectors has also been on the rise, this trend was confirmed by visitors to our stand with many questions around the testing of these devices and how best to achieve this in a compliant manner. 

The other major topic of discussion was training. This is clearly something the industry has embraced, particularly over the lockdown period and the trend seems to be continuing – with visitors talking about their success in attending training courses run by the Fire Industry Association and specialist training companies such as Zzeus.
