Winner in the South England Prestige Awards 2023/24
May 29, 2024
We are staying on our award-winning streak
We were delighted to have been nominated, and subsequently to have won, the “Best in Fire Safety Solutions” award by Prestige Awards.
The judges were particularly impressed by the focus on customer care here at Lightning Safety Systems; they recognised this as a critical aspect of business practice.
One judge made the observation: “Offering friendly and well-informed advice to clients, the experts are always available to recommend solutions that protect homes and businesses” which was great to hear. We work hard, with our motivation being protecting properties and saving lives.
Pictured is our Managing Director, Dave Green, receiving the award from Prestige Awards at a ceremony at the Solent Hotel in Whiteley.
At Lightning we are proud of our record of being the recipient of awards across all of our business disciplines over the past few years, this is a testament to the skills, expertise and positive attitudes of our administration and engineering teams.

Fire safety starts with prevention — and whether you’re at home or in the workplace, a few simple steps can make all the difference in reducing risks and protecting lives.
Every business, regardless of size or sector, has a duty to keep its employees, customers, and premises safe. Among the most critical components of workplace safety is the fire alarm system.
In homes across the UK, a small, often-overlooked device quietly sits on the ceiling. It may not seem like much, but that humble fire alarm can mean the difference between life and death.
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service (HIWFRS) is changing the way it responds to Automatic Fire Alarms in certain types of buildings as of 01 August 2025.

48 organisations have been awarded the Ministry of Defences’ Employer Recognition Scheme Silver award in the South East region, recognising the support provided to Reservists, Veterans, Cadet Force Adult Volunteers, spouses/partners and the wider Armed Forces community. This year’s awardees brings the total number of Silver holders in the SE to 139. Colonel (Retired) Patrick Crowley, MBE DL, Chief Executive, South East Reserve Forces’ & Cadets’ Association (SERFCA) on behalf of Defence Relationship Management, MOD, and SERFCA said: “I am delighted that 48 private and public sector organisations have been awarded the Silver Award this year by the MOD. In addition, 5 existing Silver Award holders have been revalidated for another 5 years. These numbers are higher than usual, despite the background environment of the pandemic, which is brilliant. It demonstrates the importance of the Defence-Employer relationship, which is of mutual benefit to both parties.” To be considered for a Silver award, organisations must provide 5 extra days leave for Reservists and have in place supportive HR policies for employees who are Veterans, Reservists, and Cadet Force Adult Volunteers, as well as spouses and partners of those serving in the Armed Forces. Organisations should also advocate the benefits of supporting those within the Armed Forces community by encouraging others to sign the Armed Forces Covenant and engage in the Employer Recognition Scheme. This year, organisations include NHS trusts, educational institutions, charities, police services, fire & rescue services, councils and a whole range of private businesses. 77 per cent are private companies, demonstrating the wide range of organisations offering support to the military community regardless of size, sector or location. Lightning Safety Systems have been awarded the silver accreditation status.
