Commitment to training evidenced by Siemens with Justin Leeks appointment

Based out of Siemens’ central training facility in Manchester, Leeks brings a wealth of experience to the role having worked in the fire industry since 2006. This includes positions with a number of Siemens’ partners, most recently GBE Converge. the third party (ie LPCB and BAFE) accredited designer, installer, commissioner and maintainer of fire protection systems.

In the role of fire product trainer for Cerberus PRO, Leek will draw on his extensive experience of installing Cerberus PRO since 2011, which will be invaluable in training others on the Siemens open protocol, EN 54-13 approved fire alarm system.

Speaking about his new role, Leeks observed: “Having worked with Cerberus PRO for many years now, I fully appreciate just what an excellent system it is. One of the central features of the Siemens offer is a guarantee against false alarms through its ASA detector technology. While the technology itself is obviously a vital contributor to that promise, ensuring that systems are installed correctly is equally important.”

He added: “I look forward to working with Siemens’ partners, and particularly so when it comes to exploring many of the exciting opportunities that cloud connectivity brings. Not to mention the benefits this offers in terms of installation, commissioning and ongoing maintenance through remote connectivity.”

Commenting on Leeks’ new role with the business, Rob Yates (Siemens’ head of building products for fire safety in the UK and Ireland) noted: “We are delighted to welcome Justin to the team and to have somebody who brings such experience, knowledge and expertise to the role. Training has always been an important focus in our relationships with our partners, whether in the online space or face-to-face. We are constantly looking at our training programmes to make them more customer-focused, ensuring that the full benefits of the Cerberus PRO system can be realised.”
