Global safety experts Ardent have announced their new First for Safety brand, reflecting their evolution as a business in recent years.

Ardent, which was founded in 1993, was initially set up to install and maintain fire suppression systems and equipment. Following substantial success in this market, Ardent developed its own brand of fire suppression systems, drawing on its years of industry experience. Its protection solutions now cover a range of applications and industries, from underground mining to public transport, static and mobile plant to electronic safety systems.

Explaining the change, Ardent Commercial Director Daniel Brunt said, “Ardent exists to protect people and businesses. We always put our customers’ safety first – we know that the best way to keep their business running smoothly is to keep their people and assets safe. While we do still offer best-in-class fire suppression systems, we offer much more in the form of electronic safety systems, best-in-class maintenance support, and customer care.”

Ardent has grown rapidly in recent years, making notable acquisitions in the form of DAB Fire Engineering and Forman Vehicle Services.

Brunt continued, “Welcoming Forman and DAB into the Ardent family expanded our product and service range considerably. We haven’t changed our offering; we’ve just expanded it. We think it’s only right to reflect that in our branding. We are First for Safety!”

Ardent continues to offer market-leading fire hazard identification and fire suppression systems under their new complete safety-first approach.
