Britannia Fire appoints Matt Humby as Head of Client Support and Development as the manufacturer enters its next phase of growth
UK-based company Britannia Fire has appointed Matt Humby as Head of Client Support and Development.
Describing Humby as “highly-regarded in the fire safety sector”, Britannia said he brings more than 25 years of industry experience and a strong track record in technical engagement, customer relationships and helping organisations respond to evolving fire safety challenges.
In his new role, Matt will focus on strengthening customer support, training and engagement, and contributing to future business development initiatives across the organisation.
Commenting on his appointment, Humby said: “I am incredibly excited about my next chapter with Britannia Fire. I’m looking forward to becoming part of a fantastic team, supporting customers and continuing to contribute to an industry I am passionate about.”
Managing Director Andy Spence added: “This is an exciting time to welcome Matt to our team. As we continue to grow, we’re investing not only in manufacturing capacity but also in strengthening the support, education and training we provide to our customers and partners.
“Matt’s experience in technical engagement and customer development will help us expand our existing training programmes and create broader learning opportunities across the sector.
“Alongside this, our investment in facilities and production capacity ensures we are well placed to meet increasing demand for the P50 range.”
Britannia, which manufactures fire extinguishers, said the appointment comes as it enters its next phase of growth following investment in its facilities and manufacturing capacity.
As well as the expansion of its headquarters in Ashwellthorpe in Norfolk, the company recently opened a 350m2 administration centre.
It has also installed a second winding machine worth more than £300,000, which is used to attach super-strength aramid fibre to its P50 fire extinguisher cylinders.
Britannia said the investment will double production capacity for the P50 composite range, enabling the company to meet growing demand.
