JFN Integrated Solutions

What JFN Integrated Solutions does

JFN Integrated Solutions Ltd is a UK-based, privately held family business founded in 2016 by Andy Stephens and Chris Keeney, headquartered in Preston, England. The company designs, installs, commissions, maintains, and certifies integrated fire detection, security, life safety, audio visual, and communications systems for commercial and public sector organisations across the United Kingdom. Its core technical capabilities span conventional and analogue addressable fire alarm systems (including wireless and aspirating smoke detection), IP-addressable CCTV and access control, FIRAS-certified passive fire protection (compartmentation, fire stopping, remediation with PlanGrid-based reporting), PAT testing, and 24-hour remote monitoring via an accredited Alarm Receiving Centre. Engineers are directly employed, DBS-checked, and qualified to City & Guilds 2377, with internal QA auditing across multiple disciplines from fire and life safety through to communications and data infrastructures. A bespoke in-house software system manages scheduling and reporting for weekly and monthly compliance checks across thousands of properties.

JFN operates a hybrid go-to-market model combining direct field sales with a B2B equipment supply channel to other installers. Revenue is generated across five streams: installation projects, recurring maintenance and service contracts, equipment supply, certification and compliance services, and remote monitoring subscriptions. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to individual client requirements. The company holds an extensive set of third-party accreditations (BAFE SP203-1, SSAIB, FIRAS, ECA, FIA, CHAS, Constructionline, PATTA, SafeContractor) and is a member of the Lancashire Chamber of Commerce, using these as procurement gating credentials for public sector and enterprise contracts. Customers span healthcare (NHS trusts, medical centres), hospitality (hotel estates), manufacturing, social housing, education, property management, and other installers, with named logos including Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust, Jupiter (Mercure) Hotels, Essity (SCA Hygiene) UK Ltd, Regenda, and Scanlans Property Management. Service delivery is carried out through directly employed mobile engineers attending thousands of properties weekly across the UK, supported by dedicated account managers, contract managers, and a simprosuite customer portal.

• Marlowe Fire & Security Group: UK-focused roll-up of regional fire and security installation and compliance businesses (e.g., M&S Alarms, Firetec). Direct competitor for JFN's NHS, social housing and commercial maintenance accounts; competes for similar BAFE/SSAIB-certified talent pool.
• Chubb Fire & Security: UK arm of Carrier offering design, installation and maintenance of fire detection, suppression, CCTV, access control and monitoring across all sectors. Overlaps directly with JFN's integrated fire/security/life-safety offering but operates at national scale with a much broader service portfolio.
