159 | UK Enterprise Awards 2022 Llantrisant Firestop Systems (LFS) is a leading fire protection specialist that is clearly set apart from its competitors by the pride and quality it puts into its work. We find out more about the firm from Director, Sam Peard, in the wake of it being recognised in the UK Enterprise Awards 2022. Based in south west Wales, LFS is a family run business which prides itself on the quality of work provided. It offers a comprehensive range of services within the passive fire protection industry and uses many products from different manufacturers. Each install meets the manufacturers specifications as well as British Standards, and always with exceptionally high standards. The firm actively involves fire protection manufacturers in quality assurance, procedures, and training, ensuring site-specific systems are designed and installed within the scope of the relevant fire tests, and that all fire protection systems are fully accredited and comply with the specified fire strategy and part B building regulations. With integrity and honesty being the firm’s core values, the business has built strong client relationships over the years with this as its foundation. “We are a tight knit group,” elaborates Sam Peard, the firm’s Director. “With a smaller number of operatives, I can put more time into their training, plus I have more opportunities to get around the sites during the week.” The internal culture at LFS is also based on these values and Sam cannot sing the praises of his dedicated team enough. “The staff we have is what make our business what it is,” he enthuses, explaining how they go above and beyond for every job. “That is something that was instilled into me when I started working and it’s something they have too.” May22676 Fire Protection Specialists of the Year – Wales The industry has increased dramatically over the last decade is now a trade which is taken seriously, with many new businesses popping up, which is good for the sector. But, as honesty and trust are integral to LFS’s operation, Sam looks further than paper qualifications when recruiting for potential new employees. “Everybody in the business is what makes this business work and without them there would be no LFS. They are credit to themselves and the reason we get recognition.” And recognition is exactly what LFS has gained recently as it is bestowed with the prestigious title of Fire Protection Specialists of the Year – Wales in the UK Enterprise Awards 2022. Looking to the future there are no immediate plans to expand however, Sam is determined to keep it very much business as usual with regards to the day-to-day running of the firm. “We have just won some exciting new contracts with national companies with fantastic opportunities throughout their supply chains,” he says. “This could potentially be the start of something big!” Contact: Sam Peard Company: Llantrisant Firestop Systems Web Address: www.llantrisantfirestopsystems.co.uk
