Stadium Support Services has launched a specialist Fire Safety Division, supported by three separate BM TRADA accreditations for Fire Door InstallationFire Door Maintenance and Fire Stopping.

With fire safety regulations tightening and compliance becoming more complex, the division provides the expertise and oversight required to ensure buildings consistently meet the highest legal and safety standards.

The division’s primary focus is passive fire protection, a cornerstone of effective fire safety. This ensures fires are contained, smoke is restricted, structural integrity is maintained, and buildings remain resilient for the future.

It safeguards compartmentation integrity, prevents the spread of fire and smoke, and protects both lives and assets,” said Mike Newson, Head of Fire Safety. “Our Fire Safety Division is accredited by BM TRADA in Fire Door Installation, Fire Door Maintenance and Fire Stopping, three of the most critical areas of passive protection.”

90 Seconds With Mike Newson, Stadium Support Services’ New Fire Safety Division

We sat down with Mike Newson, Head of Fire Safety at Stadium Support Services, to talk about the new Fire Safety Division and what it means for commercial buildings and stadiums.

Ready? Let’s go.

Q: Mike, Stadium Support Services has just launched a dedicated Fire Safety  Division. What’s the thinking behind it?

Fire safety has always been a huge priority, but now more than ever, businesses are under pressure to meet tougher regulations and ensure compliance. Stadiums and commercial buildings are high-risk environments, and the consequences of getting it wrong are serious. Our new division is all about helping clients stay compliant, reduce risk, and put the right fire safety measures in place before problems arise. 

Q: Let’s talk about fire doors. How important are they in the bigger fire safety picture?

Fire doors are absolutely critical. They’re the first line of defence in stopping fire and smoke from spreading. But just having them in place isn’t enough—they need to be installed correctly, regularly inspected, and properly maintainedto do their job. That’s where we come in. We make sure fire doors meet the right standards, keep them in good working order, and carry out inspections to flag any issues before they become a problem.

Q: And beyond fire doors, what else does the Fire Safety Division cover? 

A big part of what we do is passive fire protection, which means focusing on measures that stop fire from spreading within a building. That includes fire stopping, where we seal gaps and openings in fire-rated walls, and fire compartmentation, which ensures that different parts of a building are properly sectioned off to contain fire. It’s all about limiting damage, protecting people, and giving emergency services time to respond.

Q: What makes Stadium Support Services different in this space?

Fire safety can feel overwhelming for a lot of businesses because the regulations are constantly evolving. We make it simple. We don’t just tick boxes, we provide practical solutions. Our team understands the technical side, but we also understand the day-to-day pressures our clients face, so we help them put robust, long-term fire protection strategies in place, not quick fixes. 

Q: What’s the biggest challenge businesses face when it comes to fire safety?

It’s usually not knowing where they stand. A lot of businesses think they’re compliant until an inspection highlights gaps they weren’t aware of. Fire safety isn’t just about installing the right systems, it’s about ongoing maintenance, regular checks and adapting to changing regulations. That’s why we take a proactive approach, helping businesses stay ahead rather than reacting to problems after they arise.
