STK COMPANY HISTORY
The Company started in 2006 when the STK founding directors Steve Menzler, Terry Inglefield and Keith Parr left the West Midlands Fire and Rescue Service and formed STK Associates LLP.
STK FIRE & RISK MANAGEMENT LTD
In 2009 the Company restructured when one of the directors retired due to ill health and STK Fire & Risk Management Ltd was born.
STK Fire & Risk Management Ltd is led by Director Steve Menzler FIFSM, GFireE.
The company, still under the auspices of Steve, have 8 Fire Risk Assessors, a training team and a full Customer and Technical support team run by Operations Manager Amanda White. Growing to this size had not diluted any of the customer experience from STK. Indeed, STK has won two local Customer Service awards in 2017 and 2 national runners up awards for Customer Excellence. This coupled with the BAFE SP205 Quality Mark for delivering Fire Risk Assessments assures you get a professional and friendly service.
Customers have told us that our reputation is strong because we offer long-term support and a relationship they can trust in this highly specialised area. They know that there is a massive chasm between good and poor in how this subject is dealt with.
