Award-winning firm, Blaze Manufacturing Solutions, which is headquartered in Laurencekirk, has added eight members of staff to its workforce as it continues to secure contracts with major names in the industry.
The innovative firm, which was established in 2006, works with companies principally within the oil and gas sector.
The company specialises in the design and supply of fire protection, fire and gas detection, control systems, loss prevention and consultancy services.
The company is an accredited distributor for Xtralis; manufacturer of the market leading VESDA Aspirated smoke detection systems.
Since 2012, Blaze has had a 500 per cent growth in turnover to £19million this financial year.
To build on the continued success, the firm has appointed Russell Ingram as Fire & Safety manager; Davie McKelvie as technical authority, Iain Young as fire and safety lead designer, Alan Milne as contracts co-ordinator and Graham Travis as fire and safety estimator.

The new additions to the Blaze team, who have over 150 years of industry experience between them, will be spread between the company’s Laurencekirk and Kemnay offices boosting the number of employees to 32 members of staff and 67 contractors.
Managing director of Blaze Manufacturing Solutions, Howard Johnson, said: “Having the correct design and engineering teams, procurement, and business support personnel in place is vital at Blaze as the company continues to experience rapid growth.
“Each new team member has extensive experience in the industry, which will enable us to continue to diversify our services in the safety critical systems division and build on the services of the engineering office and the specialised resources it offers.”
