To mark its 55th anniversary, NSI has launched NSI Advantage, a programme bringing together businesses and industry organisations offering benefits to NSI certified companies.

It recognises what companies put into achieving and keeping independent certification… and gives something back. The listings cover insurance, training, fleet management, business software, marketing and other specialist services, with BSIA and FIA among the organisations taking part.

Lollipop Local is one of them, under Business consultancy. Remember, you have to be logged in to see all the offers.

Why we wanted to be involved

We’ve been working with certified fire and security companies since our very first customer back in 2010 and one problem keeps coming up.

Companies invest heavily in achieving and maintaining independent certification and the people buying their services don’t always understand what it means. So when the quotes get compared, price can end up being the deciding factor.

Research commissioned by NSI and BAFE backs it up. Among fire safety buyers who said they used a certified provider, 73% could not reliably verify their supplier’s certification. More on what the Fire Safety Buyers Report means for certified installers.

We’ve written in more detail about how to prove competence in fire safety.

What NSI certified companies get from us

Three social media posts with matching graphics, made for your company and using your own branding. They explain what your NSI certification means to your customers.

It starts with a short questionnaire about your business, then a free Visibility Call lasting about 45 minutes. We’ll talk about the customers you want to reach and how you explain your certification at the moment.

There’s no charge and no obligation. If you’d like to talk about further work afterwards we can and if you wouldn’t, the posts are yours anyway.
