Description
Browne Fire Protection is a family run business based in Co. Wexford and servicing the whole of Ireland. Like all family businesses, our story is as much a personal one as a business one.
Larry Browne our founder got it all off the ground 46 years ago with his wife Jenny. They built a great business in those early years and grew it solidly while raising their three children. Aidan, Larry's son, left his successful role in the IT industry in 2002 and joined the family business. Aidan helped double the customer base when he joined. He took the helm then in 2010.
Tragedy struck our family in 2018 when our lovely young Aidan was taken from us in a road accident. On a personal level the loss was incalculable. On a business level Aidan was a marvel - he had modernised the business with self programmed software and of course he was navigating the choppy waters of the recession with aplomb. And you know what? Everyone loved him. It was hard in those days after May 13th 2018 to imagine Browne Fire Protection without him.
But thank God here we are in 2021 continuing his legacy. Aedín Hassett, Aidan's wife and mother of his three children, has become the MD of the company. Hard to pick up the pieces but Aedín did it, and she brought a new perspective to the company that has helped us thrive and grow. Aedín has increased her team, and Brownes so long an owner operator style company, now employs a staff of 4 with 3 vans on the road servicing our customers day in day out.
We can hardly believe after the loss of our lovely dynamic universally loved Aidan, we managed to recover but we know he has had a hand in it one way or another. We continue to expand.
