CoGoGo are delighted to welcome to the market Progress Fire And Security Limited, a highly rated business opportunity in Sale, Greater Manchester.
They're a family run business that has been providing high quality security services to the domestic, commercial and industrial markets for over 30 years.
Progress Fire And Security Limited has now come to the open market due to our clients desire to retire.
The company gained accreditation from the SSAIB (Security Systems & Alarms Inspection Board) for the design, installation, corrective and preventative maintenance of intruder alarm systems in February 2003 and for CCTV systems in December 2011. In July 2014, Progress achieved BAFE SP203-1 (British Approvals for Fire Equipment) approval for the design, installation, commissioning/handover and maintenance of Fire Detection and alarm systems. In September 2010, Progress achieved approval as a Network Rail key supplier through the RISQS (Link-Up) scheme.
A key part of the business is their staff. The directors and senior managers have over 100 years’ experience between them in the security industry and so are ideally qualified for all eventualities. Most of the engineering staff has been with the company for a considerable time, and they're also heavily invested in apprenticeship schemes giving local young people the chance to learn a skill and move on into full time employment with them. All staff are multi-skilled allowing them to work on all the different areas covered by Progress.
They always try to offer fair and best advice and solutions to all customers, however big or small. They believe they have the right balance, as many of the customers have been with them for years, with some, including some large industrial customers, remaining with them since we started, 30 years ago.
