John Shannon, Chief Executive Officer, AssetCo Fire and Rescue commented:
“We are proud to be supporting ZHO. I am committed, as is the entire company, to give back to the communities in which we work and live. We have shown this with our dedication to create and build a fire and rescue service consisting of a majority of young Emirati personnel. We hope that the relationships we have built within the local community here in Abu Dhabi will benefit the Emirate as a whole and look forward to a long relationship with ZHO.”
This support relationship will see AssetCo Fire and Rescue provide fire safety expertise and advice to ZHO as well as provide volunteers to be involved in the various inclusive activities that ZHO runs while forming a joint committee to work together to initiate an annual development plan.
