At Bee Fire Protection Ltd, our strength lies in the experience, knowledge, and professionalism of our people.

From management through to site operatives, our team brings together decades of experience across construction, engineering, and highly regulated industries.

Andy Beach

Managing Director

Andy has over 30 years’ experience in the construction and engineering industry, having started his career on site as an apprentice joiner at the age of 16 before progressing through senior roles to Board Director level.

Throughout his career, Andy has worked extensively within highly regulated sectors, including nuclear, rail, energy, waste, and material handling. It was during this time that he developed a strong interest in Passive Fire Protection and Fire Engineering, recognising the critical role these systems play in protecting life, property, and structural integrity.

This experience led to the launch of Bee Fire Protection Ltd, a business built around compliance, technical understanding, and quality delivery. Under Andy’s leadership, the company continues to grow through a focus on high standards, competent workmanship, and a practical, detail-driven approach to fire safety.
