Cleveland Fire Brigade has won a multi-million pound contract to provide 24-hour emergency cover at INEOS Nitriles’ Seal Sands site.
It is the first time the fire brigade has won a private sector contract but hopes this will be the first of many to help it safeguard local fire and rescue services in Cleveland amid sweeping British Government cuts in the public sector.
“We’re over the moon that our social enterprise approach has scored its first big commercial success,” said Chief Fire Officer Ian Hayton.
All profits will be used to fund dozens of community fire safety schemes over the next three years.
INEOS said it was delighted with its decision to award the job to Cleveland.
“Not only will we be receiving a high quality, professional service, but we are also delighted that profit will be used to provide vital community safety work that will make a positive difference to quality of life across Teesside.” said Jean Phaneuf from INEOS Nitriles.
