I joined Stroud Alarms in 2017 as a Finance Manager, and my current role is now the Business Manager with responsibilities including overseeing the general office, company procedures, IT and the engineering management processes and systems. 

 

I have been in the Fire & Security Industry since 2003, when I joined a small local Security company as an accounts manager. My experience since then has been with other leading local and National Fire & Security companies and my roles within these companies have been varied. I have over the years obtained experience of the many different systems and processes required in order to ensure that Stroud Alarms can deliver a wide and professional experience to all our customers. This has included the introduction of our new Engineer Management System, the removal of paperwork and the adherence to the new GDPR processes to name a few. 

 

I live locally with my son and dog, and I also have another son who’s career is also within the Fire & Security Industry. We do try and not talk work at home! I enjoy spending time with my friends, weekends away, holidays. walking my dog and relaxing at home. 

Hi my name is Sally, I re-joined Stroud Alarms Fire and Security in September 2023, previously having worked for the company in 2018. My responsibilities are Health & Safety of the staff, building and Vehicles which involves monitoring and keeping on top of any issues, finding a solution to any problems, and reporting back to Management. 

 

I look at any training issues that are required for all staff regarding Health & safety to make sure we are compliant with our business responsibilities. Health & safety is an integral part of any business and here at Stroud Alarms we take it very seriously for ourselves and our customers. 

 

I live locally which is great and enjoy my scenic journey to work in the Stroud Valley. In my spare time I like to go to Tottenham and watch my team. I also have two lovely daughters and two beautiful granddaughters. 

Hi, my name is Brad. I've been in the fire prevention business for over 22 years. I started out in the Royal Navy as a Fireman and left after roughly 7 years. I then worked for a few companies as a Fire Prevention Engineer until I came to Stroud Alarms as a Fire and Security Engineer. 

 

I have been with the company since 2016 and I undertake several duties. I am mainly a service engineer, which includes servicing all aspects of the fire and security industry as well as small install work. Within this role the main sites I attend are the Corporate sites and the schools as well as the NHS sites. 

 

I am also a trained Fire Risk Assessor which has given me the skills to offer our customers an unbiased opinion to ensure their safety when on site for themselves and their staff. I also do Fire training sessions which includes courses on Fire Extinguisher training and Fire Warden Training. 

 

When I'm not at work I spend most of my time with my wife and two boys, whether its cosying up with a cup of tea watching films, playing the xbox or playing board games. We also go for long walks and I try to see different parts of the country with the family. I also try to fit in the odd cheeky game of golf every now and then! 

Hi, I'm James, I've been working at Stroud Alarms for over 8 (!) years now, having joined in April 2018. 

 

During working hours, I mostly involve myself with servicing fire alarms, extinguishers and emergency lighting, and also a little bit of Intruder systems and other little bits, too. 

 

I work on a lighter schedule than other engineers, due to having young children at home, and have been very well accommodated in this regard. 

 

Away from work, I'm still fairly sporty when the mood takes me, with football and cricket, and like getting out and about for walks when the weather is set fair, or taking on a pub quiz when I get the chance, alongside being a father to my two little people.
