These accolades follow Advanced’s double win at last year’s FSM Awards and mark a significant milestone in its ongoing mission to create a safer, more sustainable future.

Advanced’s installation of its AdvancedLive system at Blists Hill Victorian Town earned the company Fire Safety Project of the Year. Delivered in partnership with Chubb Fire & Security, the project showcased how cutting-edge technology can be tailored to meet the challenges of a historically sensitive, multi-structure site.

Wireless connectivity, intuitive controls, and a bespoke visual interface helped modernize fire safety across the landmark site without compromising its heritage.
