Advanced Celebrates Success at FSM Awards 2025

Leading fire and life safety solutions manufacturer, Advanced, has won an award at the 2025 Fire & Security Matters (FSM) Awards, recognising its achievements in fire safety, customer service, innovation, and sustainability.

At the ceremony, held at Coventry’s CBS Arena on 5th June, Advanced won the award for Fire Safety Project of the Year, and was also commended in the Fire Safety Manufacturer of the Year category.

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 modernise fire safety across the landmark site without compromising its heritage.

Meanwhile, the judging panel commended the strength and innovation behind Advanced’s next-generation MxPro 5 fire panel, which played a key role in earning recognition in the Fire Safety Manufacturer of the Year category. Featuring a faster processor, improved configuration speeds, and seamless integration with AdvancedLive, the panel highlights the company’s commitment to smarter, more connected fire system management. Combined with continued investment in product development and responsiveness to market needs, these advancements helped distinguish Advanced in a highly competitive category.

Commenting on the awards, Advanced Managing Director Antonio Telesca said: “To be recognised at this year’s FSM Awards is an incredible achievement and a reflection of the hard work, talent, and passion of our entire team. These awards celebrate every department across the business, from R&D and customer support to sustainability and project delivery, and I’d like to thank our customers and partners for their continued trust and support.”

The 2025 FSM Awards brought together over 400 fire and security professionals to celebrate innovation and achievement across the sector. Representing Advanced at the event were Salvy Vittozzi, Phil Calvey, Paul Duffy, Rachael Houghton, Mark Ramshaw, Paul Taylor, Conor MacLeod, and Sarah Yule.
