The family-run business, which originally started out in founder Ian Gardner's kitchen in 1990, is also hoping to become truly self-sufficient by pushing towards becoming a net-zero company.

Jordon King, head of business development at Delta Fire, said: "Our main product is similar to what you'd find on a garden hose - just on an industrial scale.

"We supply our fire nozzles to around 70 to 80pc of rescue services around the world and the Ministry of Defence (MOD).

"We have crews in Japan trialling our nozzle, we produce products for customers in Perth, Australia and we have an ever-growing market in Nigeria."

The company have an in-house design team to provide bespoke products for its customers, depending on the country they're in.

The move to the business park near Thorpe St Andrew, from its original premises at Rackheath Industrial Estate, has been "one of the best decisions the business has made" according to Jordon.
