SIDES

was proud to be the main sponsor to the 7th Airport Fire Officers Association (A. F. O. A.) conference held in Dublin on 21st and 22nd of January this year, alongside sister companies Angus and KFT, as well as Hawkes Fire, distributor of SIDES and Angus.
The association gathers 55 airports in the UK and Ireland. This year's conference has been the most successful one with 120 attendees. By sponsoring this major event, SIDES confirms its wish to become a long term partner in the Region.

Two SIDES vehicles currently operate at London City and an additional unit will be delivered this year. Dublin Airport Authority has also renewed its confidence by awarding two more units in addition to the seven operating in Dublin, Shannon and Cork airports. Two units will be delivered this year to Inverness airport. Guernesey airport has also recently selected SIDES for the supply of two units.

Over fifty years experience and know-how in designing and producing our own components together with a unique capacity to tailor solutions to customer's needs are the main keys of SIDES success in the Region. This is why our customers in UK and Ireland have named us the "can do company".
