Additional synergies and partnering opportunities are currently under development.įounded in Australia, FireMate exists to fulfil a pressing and often legally mandated requirement for enhanced asset management, monitoring and reporting in the fire sector.ĭeveloped by industry experts with a passion for effective fire safety, the company’s fire protection maintenance software and remote fire alarm management represent “a seismic change” in the approach taken by many fire system installers and their clients, affording them more oversight, awareness and reassurance than at any time in days gone by. This is an opportunity for FireMate, but also a welcome discovery for many of our clients and end users.”Īs part of its ambitious expansion plans, FireMate is working closely with its sister companies across the Halma stable, most recently partnering with Ampac, FFE and Hyfire at an industry exhibition where the synergy between each company’s solutions was demonstrated to prospective customers. ‘Responsible Persons’ need a way in which to monitor all fire system maintenance procedures and keep track of everything, often from an office hundreds of miles away. When regulations become more complex and their fulfilment becomes a fundamental legal requirement, the old ways of doing things are no longer fit for purpose.

Specialising in fire protection maintenance software and remote fire alarm management, the Australian business and its UK subsidiary were acquired in 2020 as part of Halma plc’s ambition to offer a full spectrum of fire systems and services through its various subsidiaries, among them Ampac, Apollo, Advanced, FFE and Hyfire.įireMate is now seeking to capitalise on the rapid evolution of the UK marketplace, where the Fire Safety Act 2021 and PAS 9980 have placed new obligations on fire system installers, building owners and ‘Responsible Persons’, notably so in the multi-unit residential sector. ![]()
