Chubb completes “successful integration” of Vipond Fire Protection Ltd

Like Chubb, Vipond Fire Protection Ltd is part of the APi Group. This merger enhances Chubb’s capabilities in fire protection, detection and suppression, while further solidifying the company’s commitment to providing comprehensive life safety and fire protection services across the UK.

“We’re thrilled to announce the successful integration of Vipond Fire Protection Ltd within Chubb,” explained David Dunnagan, managing director of Chubb Fire and Security for the UK and Ireland. “This strategic move aligns with our ongoing commitment to offer the highest standards of fire and security solutions for our customers.”

Dunnagan – who served as a guest on Episode 26 of Fire Safety Matters’ sister title Security Matters’ podcast – added: “With Vipond Fire Protection Ltd now part of our organisation, we’ve elevated our fire suppression capabilities. The business brings LPCB LPS:1048 Level 4-certified sprinkler installers to the organisation, further strengthening Chubb as a trusted leader in the industry.”

Vipond Fire Protection Ltd’s managing director Alastair Wilson has also shared his excitement about the merger. “This moment marks an exciting new chapter for Vipond Fire Protection Ltd. The partnership with Chubb will enable us to provide even greater protection for customers throughout Great Britain.”

Adding to Chubb’s strong network of branches, Vipond Fire Protection Ltd operates from locations in Burntwood, near Birmingham and in East Kilbride. It also runs a fabrication plant for manufacturing time-critical pipework.

Vipond Fire Protection Ltd boasts its own training and design facility, enabling the partnership with Chubb to offer industry-leading design, installation and service and maintenance in respect of fire protection, detection and suppression systems.

While Vipond Fire Protection Ltd was already part of the APi Group, which bought Chubb Fire and Security in 2022, the company’s operations in the UK had not previously been integrated. The two businesses will continue to present to the market as separate brands, allowing the organisations to leverage a stronghold in the marketplace.
