Firesafe Promotes Mark Firth to Managing Director

We are pleased to announce the promotion of Mark Firth to the role of Managing Director.

Following a career with notable PLCs such as McNicholas Construction and Siemens, Mark relocated to Guernsey in 2020 where he joined Rihoy & Son as MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) manager. Recognising the need for quality passive fire protection, Mark helped setup Firesafe where he has played a key role in expanding the business and its team under the Rihoy & Son umbrella.

This announcement comes following Firesafe achieving updated FIRAS certification in cavity barriers and penetration sealing, and certification in fire door maintenance, dry lined partition systems, and fire door installation. This accomplishment sets Firesafe as the most third-party accredited passive fire protection business in the Channel Islands.

As Managing Director, Mark will oversee the delivery and development of comprehensive passive fire protection systems and solutions for a wide range of clients across the Channel Islands. His extensive qualifications, encompassing all aspects of the business, will ensure that Firesafe continues to lead the industry in the Channel Islands.

Dan Taylor, Managing Director of Rihoy & Son and director of Firesafe, commented, “Mark’s industry expertise and energy has developed Firesafe from a start-up business to a leading specialist contractor on the island, and his new role sets the foundation  to further grow Firesafe within Guernsey and the Channel Islands.”
