Fire door firm celebrates success as it expands into all-new Stanton Hill premises

Entrepreneurs Kieran Percival and Ian Maciejewski set up Fire Door Specialists six years ago and until recently operated out of premises in Derbyshire.

FDS, which inspects, supplies, installs and maintains fire doors, door sets, and associated ironmongery, now turns over £2.4million.

The business partners also share two other businesses – Doorcerts and FD Supplies.

And Kieran and Ian now have plans for growing their businesses even further, after moving into 13,000 sq feet of former engineering premises on Brierley Park Close, Stanton Hill.

The new premises has state-of-the-art machinery, a reconfiguring office and reception space, installing racking, and creating spray booths.

It is a move that now sees 17 people working at the site, with plans to employ more people as the businesses grow.

Kieran said they are glad to be back in Ashfield, where they both live, and are looking forward to the future.

He said: “We’re delighted to have found premises ideal for our purposes and a site back in Ashfield, where Ian and I live.

“As our UK-wide reputation has grown and we have added some major names to our client list, our businesses have seen excellent growth.

“But we cannot stand still. This move enables us to take the next step in our plans, which could see us take on more people.”

The companies have clients in the public and private sectors, from care homes to local authority buildings and hospitals and office blocks to multi-million-pound manufacturing sites.

Ian said: “There are a lot of regulations around fire safety and fire door, and it is important to get things right. After all, it could be a matter of life and death.

“But, there are quite a few misconceptions about fire doors and what is correct.

“As experts in the field, as people who adhere to the very highest of standards, we are helping people to fulfill their legal and moral duties.”
