In a world where compliance, safety, and security are more important than ever, investing in a resilient, future-proof business model is not just wise – it's essential. Enter Jackson Fire & Security: a management franchise built on decades of expertise, offering a compelling opportunity for driven entrepreneurs to take control of their financial future while providing a critical service to their communities.
Founded by Steve Jackson over three decades ago, Jackson Fire & Security has grown from a small fire extinguisher installation service into one of the UK's most trusted fire safety and security solution providers. Headquartered in Mold, North Wales, the company now boasts a nationwide network that offers businesses everything from fire alarm systems and emergency lighting to CCTV, access control, and intruder alarm systems.
But Jackson isn't just offering a business opportunity – he's offering a partnership. "You're never alone," Steve affirms. "My team and I will be with you every step of the way, providing the support you need to grow and thrive."
Jackson Fire & Security is not your typical hands-on franchise. Instead of being on the tools, franchisees take on a leadership role, managing a team of expert technicians who are trained at the company's head office. This structure enables you to focus on what matters most: marketing your services, expanding your operations, nurturing client relationships, and driving revenue growth. Whether you're from a technical background or business development, the model is designed to scale. With comprehensive training, access to national contracts, and a well-oiled support system, Jackson's franchisees have everything they need to build a business capable of exceeding £1million in turnover.
The franchise package is as comprehensive as it gets. For a minimum personal investment of £24,000 (total franchise fee of £40,000 + VAT), franchisees receive full support → and access to:
Most importantly, they benefit from a complete credit control solution and ongoing tender and bid-writing assistance – crucial components in landing and maintaining long-term, profitable contracts.
With projected turnovers of £250,000 in year one and up to £550,000 by year three, supported by strong gross profit margins, the opportunity offers not just sustainability, but real financial growth.
The appeal of Jackson Fire & Security lies in its recession-proof, compliance-driven business model. In an industry where legal regulations mandate consistent safety checks and upgrades, demand remains strong – even during economic downturns. Moreover, the brand's trusted reputation and clear operational systems allow franchisees to focus on leadership, relationship-building, and strategic growth, not the daily grind of technical service delivery.
Steve Jackson puts it best: "Our mission remains the same: delivering reliable, expert solutions that give our clients peace of mind."
For franchisees, this mission translates to stable revenue streams, predictable demand, and unlimited growth potential.
Jackson Fire & Security is looking for ambitious, driven individuals with leadership qualities and the determination to succeed. You don't need to be an expert in fire safety – the training and support are already built into the model. What you do need is the passion to lead a team, build a business, and contribute meaningfully to your community's safety.
If you're ready to take on a rewarding challenge and build a business with long-term value, Jackson Fire & Security may be the franchise opportunity you've been waiting for.
