The decision to expand nationwide has coincided with optimism from leading developers who say they are set to invest more, particularly in the North of England in 2021, driven by the Northern Powerhouse initiative.

Stats have shown that 65% of developers were planning to increase their investment activity in the North substantially over the last two years with 57% regarding the North East as having the best opportunity (Property Wire, 2019).

With the substantial increase in development, comes the greater need for a fire safety specialist to not only service these regions but to ensure buildings are safe and compliant.
