Behind every successful business, there is a successful business person. And the person behind Jackson Fire and Security is founder and managing director, Steve Jackson. Based in Mold, Jackson started his company 26 years ago after having gained solid sales experience in various sectors. It was an itch for change that led him to discover there was a high demand for fire extinguishers installation and servicing. So, he decided to launch his own business that has since rapidly throughout the UK, with branches in North Wales & Cheshire. Jackson has been able to rapidly expand his business through his franchise network, and now has 8 regional branches with a further 80 unchartered territories yet to explore and very much available for new business. He takes pride in his company’s perfect record in response time for emergency calls out and for excellent customer service including pre-planned maintenance services.
Today, Jackson’s role involves running the day to day operations of Jackson Fire & Security, attending networking events, client meetings, appointing managers in the company’s customer service departments as well as for accounting, marketing and franchising departments. He oversees the franchising recruitment zealously making key decisions that positively influence the franchise network.
Jackson says the best part of his job is: “Providing such a valuable service to local businesses by ensuring their people and property are safe. Giving people the opportunity to run their own business and share the same values, through an established brand and franchise network, is also very rewarding.”
“I always wanted to run my own business but wasn’t sure in which sector I would end up. My sales experience helped give me a good starting point, I’ve picked everything else up along the way and recruited people with specialist skills for key areas of the business. I couldn’t have foreseen growing a local company nationwide and this is something I am particularly proud of.”
Jackson attributes the key to his successful franchise business to excellent customer service, ethical business approach and last but not least, up to date accounts.
