Loughborough is home to two of the UK's most significant life sciences and advanced engineering clusters, Charnwood Campus and Loughborough University Science and Enterprise Park. These environments carry pharmaceutical manufacturing, aerospace research, clean room infrastructure, and laboratory equipment that require automatic suppression without water or residue damage. The fire protection market currently serving Loughborough does not address this category at all.
At FirePro UK, whether it is a new installation protecting clean room electrical infrastructure, UPS systems, research laboratory equipment, aerospace test rigs, or diesel generator enclosures, or a retrofit replacing an ageing gas suppression system, we have a certificated solution from single-enclosure to room flood scale.
Our advanced condensed aerosol technology is LPCB, UL, and VDS certificated, carries a 15-year lifecycle and a 3-year warranty, and outperforms pressurised gas systems on installation speed, cost of ownership, and environmental credentials.
With no pressurised cylinders, no pipework, and no overpressure venting required, FirePro is built for the life sciences, pharmaceutical, and aerospace research environments that define Loughborough's real commercial identity.
Charnwood Campus on the former site of a large multinational pharmaceutical company is the UK's first Life Science Opportunity Zone and Enterprise Zone. Across its 70 acres, Almac Group, Solventum (formerly 3M Health Care, with £201 million turnover), Kindeva Drug Delivery, and Fisher Scientific UK operate pharmaceutical manufacturing, contract drug development, and scientific equipment distribution infrastructure. These environments carry clean room electrical infrastructure, UPS systems, specialist process equipment, and HV/LV distribution where water-based suppression would cause catastrophic secondary damage to manufacturing and research assets.
Loughborough University Science and Enterprise Park, covering 19 hectares with over 700,000 square feet of accommodation, is home to more than 75 organisations including Rolls-Royce's University Technology Centre for gas turbine combustion and aerothermal technology, Caterpillar's Innovation and Research Centre, and Intelligent Energy Holdings. Aerospace combustion research rigs, laboratory instrumentation, and advanced engineering test environments all carry critical fire risk profiles that require suppression without secondary agent damage.
FirePro works differently from every service currently operating in Loughborough's fire protection market.
Our patented FPC solid compound transforms on activation into a condensed aerosol that floods the protected space, interrupting the chemical chain reactions of combustion at the molecular level.
The result is rapid, clean suppression with:
Today’s modern landscape holds a myriad of fire risk challenges that demand fresh thinking, innovative solutions for a safer, greener future.
From sub stations, transformers, HV/LV, electrical distribution, and risers. FirePro swiftly suppresses fire, minimising critical equipment damage
In the era of remote sites, FirePro's versatile and easy-to-install systems offer effective fire protection without compromising efficiency.
The significant rise in imported bulk li-ion energy storage facilities from overseas may also mean a significant increase in fire risk, especially when poorly engineered. Why compromise, FirePro has the answer.
Whether on land, marine or offshore, FirePro ensures fail safe, resilient fire protection for many types of power generation, plant, machinery, even ATEX environments.
Solventum operates pharmaceutical manufacturing at 1 Morley Street and is one of Leicestershire's largest companies by turnover. Fisher Scientific UK on Bishop Meadow Road is the UK's leading scientific equipment distributor, with laboratory, storage, and distribution infrastructure across a large Loughborough site. Both carry the same fire risk profile: UPS systems, electrical distribution, process equipment, and specialist infrastructure where a conventional suppression agent discharge would destroy equipment worth significantly more than the fire damage itself.
East Midlands Airport and Gateway, 9 miles from Loughborough, is the UK's largest pure cargo airport and national hub for DHL, TNT, and Royal Mail. Its Freeport designation is adding further logistics and manufacturing infrastructure to the immediate area. Loughborough Hospital on Epinal Way adds healthcare backup power and medical electrical infrastructure to the borough's critical-risk suppression picture.
The fire protection services currently covering Loughborough address alarms, extinguishers, fire stopping, passive fire protection, risk assessments, and compliance. Not one covers LPCB certified condensed aerosol fire suppression for the pharmaceutical clean rooms, aerospace research environments, laboratory systems, and critical electrical infrastructure that Loughborough's most demanding facilities require. FirePro UK fills that gap precisely.
Yes. Pharmaceutical manufacturing, biotech research, and life sciences operations including those at Charnwood Campus carry significant fire risk from UPS systems, clean room electrical infrastructure, process equipment, and HV/LV distribution. Water-based suppression in these environments would be catastrophic to sensitive manufacturing and research equipment. FirePro activates automatically without water, foam, or residue, making it well suited to the occupied pharmaceutical and life sciences facilities found across Loughborough.
Yes. FirePro UK is the UK and Ireland master distributor for FirePro condensed aerosol fire suppression, supporting specifiers, designers, installers, and end users across Loughborough, Leicestershire, and the wider East Midlands.
Our patented FPC solid compound transforms on activation into a condensed aerosol that floods the protected space, interrupting fire's chemical chain reactions at the molecular level. There are no cylinders, no pipework, and no pressurised agents, just fast, clean suppression with no secondary damage to pharmaceutical process equipment, laboratory systems, or aerospace research infrastructure.
Yes. FirePro is the only condensed aerosol fire suppression product to hold LPCB product certification in the UK, independently tested to BS EN 15276. This is the standard recognised by insurers, loss adjusters, and building control authorities, and is a credential no provider in Loughborough's current fire protection market can match for this technology category.
Passive fire protection uses structural measures such as compartmentation, fire stopping, and fire doors to contain the spread of fire within a building. Active fire protection responds dynamically on detection, suppressing fire at source. FirePro is an active suppression system that works alongside passive measures to protect the critical assets that structural measures alone cannot address.
