Client Case Studies
The National Brewery – the brief
The annual maintenance of the fire extinguishers was just one of the responsibilities of the site manager at one of the UK’s leading premium ale breweries. With nearly 300 extinguishers in his care, the extinguisher maintenance contract was worth spending a few minutes over to get it right. The particular problem on site was the fact that a high proportion of the extinguishers were due for replacement over the next few years. How could this cost be planned for and managed effectively?
Solution
We quickly identified the best maintenance programme to provide an ideal solution to this problem. With this particular programme, the cost of maintenance is carefully calculated and spread evenly over an agreed contract period, so that the client knows in advance exactly what their maintenance is going to cost year on year. Due to the fact that the price includes replacement extinguishers, as well as all the routine discharge testing and spare parts, the client was able to budget precisely for what could have been a very unpredictable expense.
