Our Background

AssetCo Fire and Rescue has evolved from the leasing and asset management subsidiary of British Gas into a high growth International Fire and Rescue Services business.

The business is built around a cornerstone 20-year operational asset management contract with the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority (LFEPA) for London Fire Brigade. Serving around 7.5 million people from 113 fire stations across the capital, and accounting for 20% of the total UK Fire and Rescue spend, London Fire Brigade is the world's largest dedicated Fire and Rescue Service.

In July 2009 AssetCo secured a 7-year contract, the first of its nature in the UK, to provide a 700 strong firefighter reserve capability to LFEPA.  This replaced the resilience previously provided by the Ministry of Defence using military personnel and their Green Goddess fleet.

In March 2010 AssetCo secured a 3-year £40m contract to provide a fully outsourced firefighting service in the UAE, resulting in AssetCo Fire and Rescue being the only UK Company providing frontline emergency services to another state.
