Real Results
The Livv Housing Group Success Story
In 2020, Livv Housing Group embarked on an ambitious project to upgrade fire safety equipment across their 13,500 homes.
They needed to install LD2 systems throughout their housing stock and LD1 systems in high-rise and midrise blocks, along with additional carbon monoxide detection.
Through rigorous procurement analysis, Livv Housing Group discovered that partnering with Hispec would save them over £1 million compared to other manufacturers in the sector. Each property would receive comprehensive protection with 3 smoke detectors, 1 heat detector, and 2 carbon monoxide detectors.
Innovative Solutions
During our consultation process, we recommended Hispec’s combined Heat/CO detector, enabling Livv Housing to install a single detector instead of two in all kitchens—saving money, time, and valuable resources.
Without a doubt or hesitation, I would fully recommend any business, small or large, to move across to Hispec and reap the rewards to their organisations along with the confidence that all their detection is 3rd part accredited by the British Standards Institution, ensuring compliance with their products.
They are also a member of the Fire Industry Association; this gives us the confidence that Hispec care about the products they are providing in the industry and are not just about supplying cheap products for quick wins.
