A family-run Ribbleton business has marked its seventh anniversary with a huge team celebration.

JFN Integrated Solutions invited all colleagues to its Red Scar Business Park office for an afternoon of food, games and awards.

The team event was also a chance to celebrate several new large contract awards.

JFN was established by Andy Stephens and Chris Keeney in 2016.

The firm specialises in the design, installation and maintenance of bespoke, integrated and stand-alone security, audio visual, fire, communications and life safety systems for organisations across the UK.

Chris Keeney said: “We welcomed all of our team into the office and had a joyful afternoon. 

“Our business has grown substantially since its conception, picking up accolades along the way including the BIBAs New Business of the Year award in 2018.

“We employ 46 full-time staff and sustain full-time employment for over 10 sub-contractors.

“Our recent contract wins mean we are utilising a further 40 agency staff on a hospital project we are undertaking.”
