About
Our committed team delivering results for you…
Our committed team delivering results for you…Back in 2015 when Intelligent FS was created it was envisaged that we would provide a high level of customer quality through a broad service provision. This service delivery would differentiate from our competitors by being quality driven with an “easy to do business with” approach and always with the strong influence of the Directors Rob & Adam.
At the end of 2022, we continued to grow and build upon this market reputation with a strengthened leadership and management team and a focus on addressing the life-critical fire-safety issues known as the UK cladding crisis.
Our values on customer satisfaction and Health and Safety compliance remain as strong today as they were back in 2015 and we now look forward to the next 10 years of development and evolution of the Intelligent brand, makings Britain’s buildings safe and sustainable.
