The new Coopers Fire HQ, named Ignis House, is one of the first units to be built in the new industrial estate in Waterlooville called Proxima Park. Coopers Fire looks forward to growing further and becoming a more efficient and productive business in the company’s new home. Employees at Coopers Fire are really pleased with the modern facilities and improved working environment in the new factory and office.
Proxima Park is located in Waterlooville, just 2 miles from the A3(M) Junction 3, offering access to the main route from London to Portsmouth.
