As most of our customers will know, up until the launch of our Zone Guardian, we were probably known as ‘the compressor company’. ZG and Compressors are definitely our largest product groups, and we always look to improve and develop our offering, as you would expect. On which note, following the upgrade of our standard units over the last two …
New Premises update
Following our move into our own building last month – just the week before Christmas, as we like to keep things ‘exciting’ – we thought an update on our progress might be interesting. There will be a few of these over the year! The photo on the left shows our new workshop area, which is getting there in terms of …
Local Community Sponsorship
SEP is happy to announce another local community support/sponsorship project! At our new home in Reddish (near Stockport in Greater Manchester), we are right next to the Stockport ‘Sport for All Centres’ North West Regional Basketball Centre which is based at Reddish Vale High School. ‘Sport for All Centres’ have a mission to deliver mass participation sports programmes through an …
ZONE GUARDIAN improvements
We are not perfect. We know it, and so do our customers. BUT we do aim to be! So, whenever we come across an issue or customer feedback, we try and do something about it – as soon and as ‘permanently’ as possible. So when, earlier this year, we were informed that several of our ZONE GUARDIAN Test Modules were …
Compressor time!
As usual at this time of year, as the ‘alternate system’ switch from wet to dry starts to gather momentum, air compressors become our biggest seller. Specialist compressors for fire sprinkler systems are one of the products which formed the foundations of SEP, so we’re pretty good at making them to a high standard of specification, design and quality… we have, …
SEP on the move, again!
We promised you a number of exciting announcements this year, and this one is the BIGGEST! It was in 2010 that we moved from our ‘garage in Warrington’ into our ‘slightly larger garage in Cheadle’, and 2017 that we moved to our proper workshop, also in Cheadle. This gave us twice the space plus benefits including being able to separate …
Grundfos FireSAFE update
As many of our customers will know, we are a nominated distributor of the Grundfos FireSAFE range of domestic and residential fire sprinkler booster sets…did you also know that we are the ONLY stockist of the domestic (CM-range) sets? Even Grundfos themselves do not maintain a stock of finished units, so if you ever need something in a hurry then …
Goodbye Gary
It is with a heavy heart that here at SEP, we pay tribute to the passing of our colleague and friend, Gary Marney. Most of our customers won’t have dealt with Gary directly, but for anyone buying pump initiation boards or alarm valve booster pumps up until a few years ago, you will have experienced the expert touch of our …
Focus on Valves
Although SEP is not a ‘valve shop’ (we are honest in saying that there are others who are better placed to service your everyday valve needs), we have some specialisms in our supply-chain and expertise, we are able to supply many valves from our own stock, and can even help you source anything non-standard that you may be struggling with. …
SEP Going (more) Global
Since our foundation over 30 years ago, SEP has been almost completely UK-centric, with our only significant export market being Ireland. Things are changing! Mainly, our ability to export in volume has been restricted due to our base product range (air compressors for dry/alternate systems, pump initiation boards) being targeted towards UK-type systems and also not being easy to ship …
