Apollo Fire Detectors named Platinum Sponsor of Skills for Security

For decades, Apollo has played an important role in the fire detection sector, with the company rightly recognised for its impressive level of innovation, technical expertise and ongoing support for the industry.

Alongside its extensive product portfolio, Apollo already plays an active role in professional development through its own training, Continuing Professional Development provision and educational resources. The new partnership with Skills for Security builds on that commitment by further supporting the development of future engineers entering the fire and security domains.

Further, the sponsorship reflects the growing importance of collaboration between manufacturers and training providers in helping the fire sector to address skills shortages, create clearer career pathways and ensure the next generation of professionals is equipped with the degree of knowledge and confidence necessary to succeed.

Natural partnership

George Pickvance, product and marketing director at Apollo, stated: “Supporting Skills for Security feels like a very natural partnership for Apollo. We see every day how important good training and clear career pathways are and it’s great to support an organisation that’s making a real difference. We’re excited to be involved and to play our part in helping the development of the next generation of fire and security professionals.”

David Scott, managing director at Skills for Security, responded: “We’re extremely pleased to welcome Apollo as a Platinum Sponsor. Partnerships with organisations like Apollo are incredibly valuable in helping us continue to support the development of skilled professionals across the fire and security sectors. The company’s involvement reflects the growing importance of collaboration between manufacturers, employers and training providers in creating stronger career pathways and helping both sectors to address their future skills demands.”

Scott concluded: “By working together, we can continue giving learners greater exposure to the wider industries, while in parallel supporting employers in developing a knowledgeable and competent workforce for the future.”
