iCO® Sponsors NEFRS Emergency Services Boxing Tournament.
At iCO®, we believe in protecting lives – not just through innovation in fire suppression, but also by supporting the heroes who serve our communities every day.
That’s why, for the second year running, we’re proud to sponsor the NEFRS Emergency Services Boxing Tournament, a high-impact charity event that brings together emergency responders from across the North-East to raise funds, build camaraderie, and champion mental and physical wellbeing.
This year, we’re once again partnering with NPHS one of our trusted installation partners to show our support for this brilliant cause. Together, we’re helping shine a light on the incredible work of the Northeast Fire and Rescue Services (NEFRS) both in and out of uniform.
Organised by frontline firefighters and supported by volunteers across the region, the North-East Fire and Rescue Boxing Tournament showcases amateur boxing talent from the emergency services community. It’s a night where firefighters, paramedics, police officers and NHS professionals step into the ring to raise money for local charities and mental health initiatives.
“This event brings our emergency services family together in a totally different way. The energy, the crowd, the training – it’s all about discipline, respect, and giving back. Sponsors like iCO® and NPHS make it all possible.”
Mark Bryden – Event organiser at NEFRS
As a British manufacturer of life safety systems, we understand the importance of community, commitment, and service. Supporting the North-East Fire and Rescue Boxing Tournament aligns with our core values, particularly our commitment to safety, resilience, and giving back.
“We’re incredibly proud to sponsor this year’s NEFRS Boxing Tournament with NPHS. It’s a powerful reminder that teamwork, resilience and dedication aren’t just values in the fire industry, they’re the foundation of our emergency services too.”
Greg Farmer – Business Development & Partnerships Manager at iCO Products
Our sponsorship wouldn’t be possible without the collaboration of NPHS, a long-standing member of the iCO® installer network. Their support in organising and promoting the event reflects the shared values that underpin our partnership – professionalism, passion, and a drive to protect lives and property.
“Whether we’re installing fire suppression systems or helping get fighters into the ring, our goal is the same – keeping people safe. The NEFRS boxing event is a brilliant way to give something back and celebrate the strength of our emergency services.”
Paul McFarling – Managing Director of NPHS
We encourage everyone in the iCO® network including installers, developers, architects, and clients to support this year’s NEFRS Boxing Tournament. Whether it’s buying a ticket, donating to the cause, or simply sharing the event on social media, your support makes a real difference.
