Keeping Pro-Active Fire Safety’s Engineers on the road with our van hire
For a fire protection business like Pro-Active Fire Safety, keeping engineers on the road isn’t just about getting from A to B – it’s essential to keeping customers safe and compliant.
Based in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, Pro-Active Fire Safety relies on a fleet of 6–7 vans to get its engineers to service visits, installations and callouts across the region. Through Globe VHS, the company has a reliable vehicle hire solution with ongoing maintenance and support, helping keep its engineers moving and customer appointments on schedule.

What does your business do in one paragraph?
Pro-Active Fire Safety is a family-run fire protection company based in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, with over 25 years of experience. We design, install, and maintain active fire protection systems — including fire alarms, extinguishers, emergency lighting, and suppression systems – as well as carrying out fire risk assessments and fire warden training. We’re BAFE SP101 accredited and serve businesses across Buckinghamshire and the surrounding areas, from local firms to national clients.
What were your challenges?
Our engineers are on the road every day attending service visits, installations, and callouts across the region, so we depend on a reliable van fleet. Downtime is our biggest risk – if a van is off the road, an engineer can’t reach customer sites, and missed maintenance visits directly affect our clients’ fire safety compliance. We needed a hire partner who could keep us moving without the hassle and capital tie-up of owning vehicles outright.
What type of support have we provided to you?
Vehicle hire — Globe VHS supplies the vans for our engineer fleet of 6–7 vehicles, along with repairs and maintenance support.
What difference have we made to you and your business?
Having our fleet on hire through Globe VHS means predictable costs, well-maintained vehicles, and quick resolutions when anything goes wrong — so our engineers stay on the road and our customers’ service visits happen on schedule. It takes a major operational headache off our plate and lets us focus on what we do best: protecting people and premises.
Would you recommend us to others and why?
Yes — Globe VHS are responsive, straightforward to deal with, and understand that for a service business like ours, vehicles off the road mean customers let down. They keep things simple and keep us moving.
“Our engineers can’t protect our customers if they can’t get to them. Globe VHS keeps our fleet on the road, day in, day out – reliable vans, quick support, no fuss. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.”
