This year’s annual BAFSA conference and learning sessions (followed by the usual very busy formal dinner) were held in early November at the Marriott Forest of Arden Hotel in Coventry. Thank you to BAFSA for an engaging programme. This year’s focus was on the built environment, sustainability, and how fire sprinklers can help with the challenges faced. Firstly, Mike Leonard (CEO of …
SEP, and we suspect the whole fire sprinkler industry, has had another busy and productive year during 2025. We would like to thank our customers – big and small, regular and occasional, home and abroad – for your ongoing support. This year we have particularly enjoyed our training sessions, and the number and variety of customer engaging with us has been very exciting …
When customers attend our free training sessions, we broadly cover selection, installation, commissioning and troubleshooting for our key products – air compressors, pump initiation boards, Zone Guardian, Alarm Valve Booster Pumps, Residential and more! One of the biggest ‘bugbears’ most customers raise is setting Bailey & Mackey 1381V pressure switches! Who knew that something so small and (supposedly) simple could …
Our Ethos: Responsive, Flexible and always High Quality. That’s our promise to our customers…and our numbers back it up! We pride ourselves on having the best service and customer care that a manufacturer in the fire sprinkler industry can provide. Ask yourself – how many of my suppliers are as responsive and helpful as SEP, whether I need a quote, …
Some exciting news… we’ve had our first ever SEP wedding! We’re sure many of our customers and suppliers (both old and new) will have dealt with Anna in our office. She can be found answering the phone, quoting customers, and processing sales orders; otherwise she’ll be processing purchase invoices and paying suppliers… and drinking really weak coffee! Anna is also …
Here at SEP, we don’t ‘bang on’ about it much, but like many forward-thinking focused businesses, we still have a Vision and Values statement. Our Vision is quite simple, that: SEP and its brands are recognised globally throughout the fire sprinkler industry as being the best among our peers – for design, quality, reliability, and the service we provide. But …
It’s that time of year again, when alternate systems start being changed over from wet to dry, and client sites discover that their compressors have given up! Due to ongoing improved efficiencies following our relocation for 2023, we are able to build and hold great levels of stock, meaning that we will never let you or your clients down when …
Going back even just four to five years, air maintenance devices (AMDs) were just an occasional product for us. Over the past couple of years demand has increased many-fold, recently to the point that we were the main cause of our national distributor completely stocking out of 3/8” air regulators for over a month! What is the purpose of an …
One of the issues we often come across, since our foray into the Priority Demand Valve (PDV) market several years ago, is that they are often NOT installed by fire sprinkler engineers but installers from outside of the fire industry. This is simply because the purpose of a PDV is to stop the flow of water to the domestic system in …
We are very happy to share that we recently made a donation to Community Led Initiatives (CLI) in Milton Keynes to support their recent Community Lunch event. CLI is a Community Interest Company dedicated to supporting & empowering people who are facing issues including with the criminal justice system, homelessness, addiction, and mental health difficulties.
