    We were thrilled to host GERDA SECURITY at Warringtonfire’s High Wycombe Laboratory last week for testing! A big thankyou to Piotr Zarnoch and his team for the timely and detailed information, which allowed Technical Officer, Stephen Dorme, to hand over a final draft report shortly after completion of the test. Amazing job, Stephen! Piotr, Technical Manager at GERDA SECURITY, shared: “It is great to see High Wycombe Warringtonfire addressing feedback on report delays, recognising the impact on manufacturers. We’ve worked together for years, and it’s great to see this faster report turnaround. Draft reports are now issued almost immediately after testing. Well done, Warringtonfire High Wycombe!” We’re committed to continuous improvement, focusing on: Faster test report deliveries – With full technical details in advance, reports are delivered quickly. Stronger customer service – Dedicated Project Managers and a single point of contact ensure we fully understand your needs. Experience our improvements for yourself! 📧 Email us at HWtesting@warringtonfire.com with your testing enquiries, and a member of our team will get back to you shortly.

    FIRE DOOR SAFETY WEEK, 23rd-27th SEPTEMBER It’s day two of Fire Door Safety Week, organised by the British Woodworking Federation. Now in its 11th year, the theme of the 2024 campaign is ‘A False Sense of Safety’, which aims to bridge the gap between perceived safety and actual fire risk. It encourages the public to engage in fire safety awareness and report any fire door issues, regardless of location or the assumption that fire safety is someone else’s responsibility. Below are five areas, via the British Woodworking Federation, that we should all consider today in our daily environments to help contribute to fire safety. You can learn more about Fire Door Safety Week here https://lnkd.in/dStC8UW #FireDoorSafetyWeek #FDSW2024 #FireDoors #FireSafety #Certification
