Last month Active Fire Management were pleased to be able to provide training across two important subjects when they were commissioned to deliver both Fire Marshal Training and Emergency First Aid in the Workplace Training for the Canute Group who are currently continuing to be one of the fastest growing global supply chain providers operating today.  Canute Haulage Ltd was established in 1977 with two vehicles collecting and delivering bricks and blocks for local builders in the Purfleet area. By 1979 the Canute Fleet had expanded to 20 by winning their first significant building materials contract operating out of Linford.

Within 5 years, Canute’s turnover had grown to over two million and the company graduated from a regional to a national contractor. They acquired Frank Stokes Ltd in 1988 providing them with an operating site in Nottingham beginning the formation of the Canute Group as it’s known as today.

The training was delivered in Coventry and Purfleet and certification was provided to all delegates who passed the courses.
