Major expansion of Exova Warringtonfire’s global fire team continues

Exova Warringtonfire is continuing to invest heavily in expanding its global fire team, following the acquisition of the business last June by Element Materials Technology Limited (Element).

In the past nine months, over 70 people have joined the 650 strong global team of experts. The recruitment drive covers Exova Warringtonfire’s locations in the UK, Belgium, Germany, Dubai, Qatar and Australia. As well as expanding its team of certification engineers and technical officers, the business has also hired additional product assessors, fire safety engineers, site inspectors and fire consultants in order to meet the growing demand for its services.

Rob Veitch, EVP Fire and Building Products said: “We are focusing on expanding our global fire business to continually strengthen our technical leadership, which is the primary driver of our customers’ satisfaction. Warringtonfire is a hugely respected name in the marketplace and this, coupled with the clear and structured long-term national and international career development programme we offer, has been key in attracting new talent to our business.”

Over 30 incremental positions are still to be filled, including senior management and further technical and operational roles.

Element Materials Technology is one of the fastest growing companies in the global Testing, Inspection and Certification sector. There are over 6,700 engaged experts operating in 189 facilities in the Americas, Europe, Middle East Africa, Asia in the Group. Element exists to ensure that the materials, products and projects that it tests, inspects and certifies are always safe, compliant and fit for purpose for their end use application. That is the certainty of Element.
