Thorne Fire and Security is a family-run Lancashire business where customers truly are at the heart of everything we do.

Our Story

Based in Nelson, just outside Burnley, the company was founded in 2005 by Hadrian Thorne following a chance conversation with Crow Wood Hotel and Leisure managing director Andrew Brown, when he admitted he didn’t know where his career may next take him.

Andrew asked: “Why not set up your own business?”

So, he did and hasn’t looked back.

Now two decades in, Thorne has built up an impressive customer list including some of the area’s most established local brands, including Burnley Football Club, Veka, and, of course, Crow Wood.

Hadrian’s wife, Alison is company secretary and his son Cam recently joined the business as an apprentice after leaving school.

The family is supported by a loyal and brilliant team of staff, who share our own morals and values and that is so very important to us as we grow.

Our team have built exceptional supplier relationships in order to provide customers with a wide range of fire and security products, and we have also worked hard to achieve the accreditations which customers rely on for their own compliance.

But what really makes us stand out from the crowd is our unfailing customer service excellence. Typically, when any business or individual starts to work with Thorne for their fire and security needs, they are embarking on a long-term relationship with us.

Why? Because our whole team really does care about providing our customers with the service they deserve. And when it comes to giving back to these businesses and the local communities in which they thrive, we do so in abundance.

If you want to work with a business fuelled by traditional family values and puts you, the customer, first every time, we’d love to speak with you.
