Cirque Du Soleil's Varekai - Manchester Trafford Centre

"We have liaised with Cirque Du Soleil's senior health and safety officals in order to ensure the show was acceptable in terms of fire safety requirements , fire service, local licensing authority and the Trafford Centre management. In addition Total Fire Services conducted fire risk assessments of all the marquees on site with the largest marquee holding over 2,800 people. Each area of the site was assessed in terms of safe exit capacities, escape routes, fire warning, emergency lighting, fire marshals, access for the fire service etc."

Royal Northern College of Music

"The RNCM looked at three companies to conduct a fire risk assessment of all areas of the college to assist us in maintaining compliance with the Fire Safety Order 2005. Following a meeting with their Managing Director Darren Baird it was clear that Total Fire Services displayed the requisite expertise and skills to provide a thorough assessment in keeping with the quality standards expected at the RNCM at a competitive fee. A full day on site assessment was conducted covering all areas of the RNCM and was produced in a professionally bound document. A consultation was then provided to the Estates team to go through the assessment in fine detail in order for the RNCM to ensure continued compliance with fire safety law. I have found the Company to be very professional and thorough and would have no hesitation in recommending their services."

Leeds United Football Club


"Total Fire Services conducted fire risk assessments on behalf of Leeds United Football Club in January 2007. The conducting of the assessments was as a result of an inspection by the Local Authority Safety Team, where the club's existing assessments were required to comply with the newly introduced Fire Safety Order and the granting of the stadiums Safety Certificate.

Four companies were short listed and the club felt that Total Fire Services displayed the requisite expertise and professionalism to undertake fire risk assessments for our varied and extensive buildings. Risk assessments were conducted of the stadium, banqueting suite, conference centre, training academy, ticket and management offices, warehouses, Leeds United Shop and crèche.

Following the conducting of this major assessment project, a consultation was provided by Total Fire Services to the club and head of the Local Authority Safety Team. The assessment met all the requirements of the Fire Safety Order and that of the Safety Team enabling the granting of the stadium's Safety Certificate. All the assessments and resulting documentation were conducted to the highest standards detailing each of the areas in separate bound portfolios.

Total Fire Services are now the club's appointed competent persons for fire related matters, providing Leeds United with on going advice and support in order to maintain and review the assessments and assist the club in fulfilling its fire safety legal obligations. The fire safety consultants were both professional and helpful. I was extremely satisfied at the quality, time scales involved and their level of expertise and I would have no hesitation in recommending their professional services."

Schools

"We have always been conscious of keeping our health and safety and fire risk assessments up-to-date. However, it wasn't until our recent Fire Risk Assessment from Total Fire Services Ltd that we realised there is a statutory requirement for staff to have fire training. We have been delighted with the training that Total Fire Services has provided for 80 plus teachers and support staff. Our staff were not enthused by the idea of fire training as part of their INSET, but Darren delivers a powerfully informative yet entertaining presentation which engages even the most challenging of audiences.

We look forward to welcoming Darren back next year for an update and highly recommend Total Fire Services for the delivery of fire training to the education sector."

"Once I made the decision to engage the services of Total Fire Services Ltd. I felt an immediate sense of relief. A thorough fire risk assessment was conducted providing me with a substantial document highlighting which areas of concern I need to address. I am also able to access professional advice whenever I need it and even organise fire training for my staff. Throughout the process I have been extremely impressed by the professionalism and expertise of Total Fire Services and feel secure in the knowledge that I have now met the requirements of the new fire safety law and have "ticked yet another box!"

Your response time and professionalism are a testament to your company and are to be congratulated.

Churches, Large Places of Worship/Assembly

"Total Fire Services Ltd, have carried out a number of services on our behalf. In October 2004, they carried out a full Fire Risk assessment on our building and also assessed our current building in 2006, after a major refurbishment. They also provided services to us in the form of staff and volunteer training, further to their contract to supply and maintain a variety of Fire Extinguishers around the building.

We are presently in the process of extending our church campus with the purchase of a building which currently borders our property; it is our intention to use Total Fire Services Ltd to ensure the new building meets all HSE requirements and specifications.

In our experience we have found them diligent, friendly and highly professional, we would totally endorse the company and the services they provide.

My role in The Bridge Church is as Operational Manager, which brings with it the responsibility of ensuring a safe working environment for the 15 paid staff as well as the numerous volunteers that use our building in the course of the week. Not to mention the 800 plus people who attend church services each weekend. As a growing organisation, we are committed to ensuring a safe environment and we feel that Total Fire Services Ltd are a more than adequate partner in this endeavour. If I can be of any further help please don't hesitate to get in touch.
