ProDefend, a leading UK fire protection specialist, has appointed Liam Young as its new Gas Suppression Manager, strengthening its capabilities in delivering advanced fire safety solutions.
Liam brings a wealth of experience to the role, having worked in the fire suppression for some time. Starting in the service department, he built hands-on expertise in gas suppression systems before moving into client-facing business development roles. Over the years, he has become known for combining technical knowledge with a strong focus on building long-term customer relationships, helping clients select the right fire safety systems for complex and high-risk environments.
In his new position, Liam will spearhead the growth of ProDefend’s gas suppression division while also expanding his involvement in sprinkler and fire alarm systems. He highlighted his alignment with Managing Director Mike Trenbath, noting that while their technical specialisms differ—Mike in sprinklers and Liam in gas suppression—their approach to client care, attention to detail, and commitment to getting the job done right is the same.
ProDefend operates as part of the Key Integrated Services Group, a national provider of building services solutions. Backed by the group’s resources and infrastructure, ProDefend offers a full range of fire protection services including sprinklers, gas suppression, fire alarms, and passive fire protection, working across commercial, industrial, and specialist sectors.
The appointment marks a significant step in ProDefend’s strategy to enhance its presence in the gas suppression market, which plays a vital role in protecting sensitive environments such as data centres, archives, and critical infrastructure. With Liam’s leadership and the support of Key Integrated Services, the company is well-positioned to expand its reach and reinforce its reputation for delivering quality, compliant, and future-ready fire protection systems.
This move further cements ProDefend’s position as a trusted partner for clients seeking comprehensive fire safety solutions across the UK.
