we didn’t need to go looking for separate service

providers. Buddy’s provided Aon with advice, fire

protection equipment, first aid kit, exit light testing

and the evacuation plan for our new office location.

The service was quick, professional and we were

completely reassured that the team at Buddy’s are

absolute specialists in the fire protection industry.
