Fire

Panels for Sexy Fish

by Mark Rowe

The Ivy, the exclusive central London restaurant, has recently seen a refurbishment, overseen by the Martin Brudnizki Design Studio. The work included an overhaul of the building’s fire system by Sussex-based ROC Solutions, who fitted the MxPro 4 fire panels from Advanced. The installers used the same product at Sexy Fish, pictured, in Berkeley Square.

The Ivy system which is integrated with the existing EMS radio in Ivy Club, covers the public and private areas of the West End restaurant, including the dining rooms, kitchens and other back of house areas, while the new fire system at Sexy Fish covers all areas of the Mayfair restaurant. Both restaurants are owned by Caprice Holdings.

Dean O’Brien, Director at ROC Solutions, said: “The Ivy project was not only high-profile, but also logistically challenging, working around the quick refit schedule and interfacing with the neighbouring The Ivy Club, which remained open. In comparison, installation of the new system at Sexy Fish was not quite so complex, but still just as vital.

“For both projects, Advanced panels were the obvious choice, offering the right mix of features, reliability and adaptability to safeguard customers, staff and the fabric of the restaurants. Careful planning was needed to ensure that the fire system components did not encroach on the luxurious finishes in each establishment, while the Sexy Fish system needed to be integrated with the existing network in Berkeley Square House, one of London’s most desirable addresses.”

Neil Parkin, Sales Manager for the North at Advanced, said: “Advanced panels are already installed in several Caprice Holdings venues, so we were very pleased to supply MxPro-based systems for The Ivy and Sexy Fish. Our products bring with them an enviable reputation for performance and ease-of-use, which has led to their installation in buildings as diverse as The Shard and Iona Abbey. We have worked closely with Dean and his team for a number of years and MxPro is now Roc Solutions’ first choice of panel for all new installations and upgrade projects.”
