What our people say about working at FCS-live:

Holly Smith – HR Manager

I joined FCS-live not quite realising how welcoming and friendly everyone is. There is a real sense of teamwork and family across the organisation, everyone works together to ensure our clients are happy and management genuinely care about our employees. My role as an HR generalist sees me working on something different each day and interacting with some truly talented people, the opportunity to learn, develop, and enhance my HR skills, knowledge, and practices during my time at FCS-live has been great, I learn something new every day. What makes me happiest at work? It has to be the people, we all know how important it is to work with kind, talented, and motivated people and the impact that this has on our day-to-day life!

Khorram Kokhar – Fire Risk Assessor

Having been a part of the FCS-live family for almost five years, I am proud to work for a forward-thinking, supportive, and progressive company which is aware that its employees are its greatest asset. The fire safety industry is an industry which is seeing continuous change and standards rising. With the support of FCS-live I have been able to develop and grow my experience, knowledge, and training through CPD and the investment of managers in mentoring. We have a strong and healthy company culture and, working remotely, the connectedness and collaboration with the wider team keeps me feeling engaged and valued. What makes me happiest at work? Having such supportive colleagues who are always willing to help out. I have a real sense of purpose in the job that I am doing and I love being part of such a positive workplace culture!

George Hart – IT Customer Support & Software Tester

I joined FCS-live two years ago as an Administrator and over my time with the company I have been encouraged, assisted and supported in developing my IT skills, allowing be to progress to a role within the IT department. The support and training I’ve received along the way has been truly fantastic. The company is great at developing skills within people and continually offer development and learning opportunities. What is my favourite thing about working for FCS-live? There is a great work atmosphere with so many brilliant people. The training and support is fantastic and there are many benefits and opportunities to progress through the company.

Andy Hewitson – Technical Manager (North)

Since joining FCS in January I have been really pleased with how friendly and helpful everyone is, nothing is ever too much trouble and there is support available at all levels which is fantastic. Everyone seems to have a vested interest in the success of the business and there is great collaboration working together and feeling a strong sense of ownership with what each of us are working on.  From day one I have felt valued and that my opinion matters and I have had the opportunity to develop my client service skills as well as my mentoring skills as I guide and support our Fire Risk Assessors. What makes me happiest at work? When someone thanks me for my work and tells me I’m appreciated!

Mo Hammond – Administrator

Since joining FCS in 2021, I have really enjoyed the atmosphere and company culture with great people who are always willing to lend a helping hand where needed. In terms of my day-to-day role, interacting with a variety of different customers and building working relationships with colleagues and clients is an incredibly rewarding and an enjoyable part of my role! FCS is a busy place to work, a place where we help each other out as a team and thrive within our working roles, it’s a place where you are constantly learning and developing your skills and experience which is fantastic.

Ashley Theakstone – Head of Fire Engineering

Having been at FCS for almost two years, in my opinion FCS is a progressive company to work for, with both professional and family values at its heart. FCS Fire Engineering has a wide range of clients with a number of exciting and challenging portfolios. This variety of projects has enabled me to develop my consultancy experience and share knowledge with my colleagues, plus enabling me to influence company direction and decide on project bids. I believe FCS offers a comparative range of employee benefits and continues to look at initiatives to recruit, reward and retain its staff.

Hayley Reed – Contracts Manager

I joined the company in 2015 as an Administrator and have been able to progress my career over the years. Given the nature of the fire safety industry, each day is busy and different – allowing me to be challenged regularly! FCS-live fosters an environment and company culture where I’m free to focus on key tasks and meet targets on time and I get to work with fantastic people each day.
