Commercial & Leisure
As with the retail sectors, over the last 10 years there has

being built all around the country. From cinema’s, bowling alleys
and restaurants, bingo halls, pubs and night clubs fire protection
is a major consideration to protect the general public and the
property, in the event of a fire. These are not just limited to
out of town developments. As more city centres are going through
urban generation schemes, many building uses have changed and many
new buildings are springing up all over the country’s town
