About Us

When it comes to Industry Experience, Product Knowledge, Reliability & Customer Empathy – we have bucket loads, excuse the pun! Our vast experience and knowledge, coupled with our supply partners, provides customers with reliability – nurturing an ongoing relationship.

Our Story

Our story began in 2017 with fire extinguishers stored in our garage and a lot of door knocking at local businesses.

Having many years experience in sales, owned several successful businesses, and worked for many years in the fire protection industry, we knew there was a niche for a business to provide a complete fire safety service and product supply, alongside great prices and great service to both business and home owners.

Today we are proud to work with some of the top suppliers in Aotearoa New Zealand to supply and support thousands of schools, offices, workshops and other kiwi businesses around New Zealand. We are also grateful for the many private individuals who use our online store for their home needs.

"Fantastic service, really outstanding. I needed supplies quickly and I rang Paul who met me 30 mins later. Same day I had everything I needed from rubbish bags to rinse aid for the kitchen sterilizer. Great to deal with and so quick and easy, highly recommend."
