The Mick George Group has grown to become one of the leading suppliers to the construction industry in the heart of East Anglia and East Midlands. Operating with a single tipper truck in 1978, the company’s commercial fleet size has now grown to more than 400 HGV vehicles.
They specialize in Bulk Excavation & Earthmoving Services, Demolition and Asbestos Removal, a wide range of Skip Hire and Waste Management Services, and Aggregate & Concrete Supply, as well as their most recent Facilities Management offering.
Background
The Mick George Group was previously provided with fire protection through a mix of local contractors who were very discipline-specific.
These arrangements were historical and not based upon level of service and it was also quite hit and miss as no one contractor looked after the whole of their fire safety requirements. This led to gaps in work and projects and the constant juggling of which supplier looked after which part of their fire safety.
Initial Contact
FASS completed an initial project of installing plant fire suppression at a well-established waste site
A member of the Fire & Safety Solutions (FASS) team had the pleasure of meeting with the Mick George Operations Manager, Angus Wilmot, at a local Business Networking Breakfast. After several discussions, FASS completed an initial project of installing plant fire suppression at a well-established waste site.
Mick George Group was interested in working with FASS as they are a local family business with a huge amount of technical knowledge and the ability to ensure that they and their customers remain compliant. FASS is also a ’One Stop Shop’ with many departments covering all fire and safety bases and therefore having the ability to satisfy all their requirements.
The Ongoing Relationship
The fire suppression installation was a great success and it led the way to many other opportunities including the servicing of fire alarm systems, fire suppression systems, AOVs, emergency lights, intruder alarms, and the supply and maintenance of fire extinguishers within their sites and also their external FM customers.
FASS is also responsible for PPM scheduling and accurate record keeping with one point of contact, precision is second to none.
Going Forward
FASS and the Mick George Group are furthering their relationship by working on new opportunities and extending their projects into additional group portfolios.
In Summary
Feedback has been excellent and there is mutually beneficial friendly and honest communication
The association between FASS and the Mick George Group is going from strength to strength. Feedback has been excellent and there is mutually beneficial friendly and honest communication based on trust, regular contact, and support.
Angus Wilmot, Operations Manager of MGFM, says, "Like any business, we are looking for great service at a reasonable price and we get this from Fire & Safety Solutions (FASS). This is why we use FASS with our external FM customers as well as maintaining our sites."
‘One Stop Shop’ scenario
Angus Wilmot adds, "They’re able to advise on changes in legislation and keep us, and our customers, compliant. The ‘One Stop Shop’ scenario with its ability to service fire alarm systems, fire extinguishers, fire suppression systems, AOVs, emergency lighting, intruder alarms, CCTV, etc, provides ample opportunity for cost savings and also accurate reporting, PPM scheduling, and record keeping at a central point."
He continues, "Most important for me is their passion for doing a first-class job and their professionalism."
