Hochiki Europe has delivered the first in a new series of ‘Life Tech’ events which are being delivered in collaboration with its systems partners. The first event, hosted by Tees Fire Systems, was held within the ‘Legends Lounge’ at the Riverside Stadium, home to Middlesbrough Football Club. The day showcased the latest life safety technology from the manufacturer and outlined best practice when it comes to using the company’s smart solutions.

The educational session was the first of four planned Life Tech events which bring together consultants, specifiers, end-users and building owners, helping them better understand the latest life safety innovations from Hochiki Europe.

Through a combination of seminars, workshops and Q&A sessions which focused on relevant case studies and real-life scenarios, attendees had the unique opportunity to interact with and learn more about Hochiki Europe’s extensive portfolio. Product demonstrations at the event included Hochiki Europe’s L@titude Panel, a powerful and sophisticated fire alarm control and indication system, and FIREscape+, the company’s renowned combined detection and emergency lighting solution. The audience were also given an insight into the various applications and use of Hochiki’s innovative new ACD sensor, which is now fully supported by L@titude.

Assisting in hosting the event, UK Sales Manager, Mark Smith said: “It’s important that all our clients across the spectrum, from specifiers to end-users, have access to the latest information and developments from within the industry. Even though projects age, life safety protection cannot falter. That is why we place so much emphasis on maintaining strong relationships with our customers so we can continue to provide security and protection throughout the lifetime of a building.

“Life Tech is the perfect platform for our systems partners and product users to keep their knowledge up to date while having the chance to network with other industry professionals.” 

Kevin Hynes, managing director, Tees Fire Systems commented: “As Hochiki Europe’s first-ever systems partner, we’ve worked closely together throughout the years and this event was the perfect way to expand our partnership.

“The event was a resounding success and each of our customers found the day extremely valuable as they were able to see for themselves how innovative life safety systems can transform a project in terms of cost-savings, connectivity and adaptability. We’re looking forward to hosting similar events in the future to continue life safety education for all our customers.”
