In 1990, Ian Gardner founded Delta Fire, a global leader in supplying frontline firefighting safety equipment.

The business began as a small start-up workshop and since then has transformed into a state-of-the-art manufacturing organisation.

After more than three decades of growth and innovation, the business produces handheld fire nozzles used by the majority of UK fire and rescue services and emergency responders around the world.

In addition to the nozzles, Delta Fire designs and manufactures a comprehensive portfolio of firefighting equipment.

The equipment is used in more than 100 countries across a wide range of high-risk sectors, including aviation, defence, nuclear, marine and offshore, petrochemical, wildfire and forestry protection.

By combining cutting-edge design with practical functionality, the company continues to develop equipment aimed at improving firefighter safety in some of the most high-risk environments.
