For larger Ferndown sites, an addressable system lets you see every emergency fitting's status from one panel.

Exit signs in Ferndown premises need to be visible from the route, which sometimes means adding directional signs at changes of direction.

For Ferndown premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
