Sadly Jeff passed away on the 29th of September 2021 after a brave and lengthy battle with cancer. Jeff founded the business in 2002 and was a pioneer of the Passive Fire Industry in New Zealand. Jeff's knowledge was unparalleled from a practical point of view and he built a team that is still able to provide a solution for the most complex situations that arise daily.
In the years before Jeff became ill, he had his wife Fleur join him in the business and she is happily carrying on as Managing Director to ensure Jeff's legacy lives on.
Sue-Ellen is always busy! Inside and outside of work she is a dynamo. There really is no title to describe her as she has her fingers in so many pies and multitasking is her middle name. As well as the day-to-day activities of running the financials in a sizeable business, Sue-Ellen has also been championing a new computerised QA system and she often spends hours at home in the evenings working on extra tasks.
While work is busy enough, she also has 3 young and busy children … busy, busy, busy!
Tyrone has been around Passive Fire for over 10 years, in fact he started in the industry for Advanced Applicators a week after the first major Christchurch earthquake. Having spent several years away from our business pursuing opportunities elsewhere, we are pleased to have his expertise back with us as a skilled Operations Manager.
After learning the trade ‘on the tools', Tyrone showed a lot of potential in the more technical aspects, so he is now responsible for relationship building, pricing, scheduling and manning. Tyrone is another success story in terms of working his way up the ladder.
Tyrone has always set very high standard for himself. He was a New Zealand representative for Touch Rugby and is very goal orientated. Tyrone is another success story in terms of coming off the tools and performing a crucial role in managing our Key Accounts and overseeing all operations.
