In the fire and security industry, marketing has often been an afterthought. But the truth is, it’s a key growth driver for small to medium-sized and enterprise fire and security businesses. In this episode of The Blueprint, Aimen from Uptick sits down with Aaron O, founder of Eruptible, to unpack how companies at any stage can use digital marketing to drive growth, from word-of-mouth strategies to SEO and AI.

The fire and security industry has evolved in the last few decades. The qualifications that engineers require have changed, and many experts believe that there’s a growing gap between theory and practical skills.

Running a fire and security business today is nothing like it was ten or even five years ago. What used to be good enough - handwritten certificates, paper logbooks and carbon copies - isn’t cutting it anymore.

In episode 2 of The Blueprint, we sat down with Lauren Cooper, Head of Sales at Cento and Greg Linehan, Operations Director at Fisk Group, to discuss what’s going wrong with recruitment, what needs to change, and how the best companies are attracting and retaining top talent.

The fire and security industry in the UK and Ireland is at a pivotal moment. Skilled engineers are retiring, and there aren’t enough new ones to replace them - in fact, the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) says that over 250,000 extra construction workers will be required by 2028 to meet demand. 

The Blueprint is Uptick’s new podcast for the fire and security industry. Hosted by Kyle Jones and Billy Remmington, it looks at the real issues teams face every day — from hiring challenges and skill gaps to outdated tech. Each episode brings in voices from across the sector to share what’s working, what’s not, and how we move the industry forward.
