Keeping Fire Safe & Saving Money

Eastern Extinguishers are saving clients an average of 48% with their multi-risk, non-corrosive P50 fire extinguishers. They have installed their P50’s across many businesses in the food and drink industry including, Subway, The Flaming Gourmand, PepsiCo, Marston’s PLC and in more than 7 NHS Trust catering kitchens including, Chelsea Westminster NHS Trust, East London NHS Trust, Hampshire Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Barking, Havering & Redbridge NHS Trust, Dorset NHS Trust, Kent & Medway NHS Trust, Guy’s & St Thomas’ NFT and King’s College Hospital NHS Trust. Installing P50’s across these trusts will save them more than £1.1 Million.

Eastern Extinguishers largest client in the food and drink sector is Marston’s PLC. Marston’s PLC have diverse estates including 1,400 pubs, restaurants, cocktail bars, and inns, which offer memorable occasions for every customer and every community. Marston’s PLC have been running pubs and brewing beer for over 180 years and are always striving to be the best they could possibly be. This includes improving their fire safety.

Marston’s were first drawn to Eastern Extinguisher’s and the P50 fire extinguishers because of the substantial financial and environmental benefits. We save our customers an average of 48% in costs over a 10-year cycle and we were able to save Marston’s PLC a compelling £1.2 million in costs.

Former Senior Fire Risk Engineer for Marston’s PLC is a huge advocate of the product and promotes the P50 extinguisher’s environmental benefits. With increased pressure to deal with the issues of climate change, it is important to reduce carbon emissions, as well as energy waste. The P50 extinguishers are manufactured using low energy, clean manufacturing processes here in the UK and follow a zero-waste policy. The products are made using recyclable materials and have a 20-year lifecycle guarantee which is more than double that of a steel extinguisher.

Moreover, the former Senior Fire Risk Engineer was impressed with the products increased fire safety benefits. The P50 fire extinguishers are almost three times more effective in their extinguishing capabilities compared to standard steel extinguishers. On top of this, the multi-risk capability meant that we were able to reduce Marston’s extinguisher inventory by 40%. The foam P50 extinguisher covers class A and B fires and is certified to tackle live electrical fires up to 1000 volts. This multi risk capability also eliminates ‘decision paralysis’, as one P50 extinguisher replaces two steel extinguishers (Foam/Water + CO2).

In addition to increased safety, savings, and a reduction in inventory, the P50 fire extinguishers can be serviced by a member of your own team, for which we provide fully accredited, free of charge training and access to our bespoke Extinguisher Management System. This stores the locations of each extinguisher, the individual serial number and will set reminders for the allocated inspectors to service the P50 extinguishers.

Marston’s PLC was also impressed with Eastern Extinguishers service. They pride themselves on 100% customer satisfaction and will always strive to suit their customer’s needs.
