Introduction

I would like to welcome you to the first ever Fire & Rescue Service Discount Scheme. Building on other discount schemes our scheme is available as a directory and on line.

All the offers that are contained within the Fire & Rescue Service Discount Scheme are available to the entire Fire & Rescue Service community, both uniformed and non-uniformed staff, control staff, retained and full-time staff, part-time staff, retirees, trainees and elected Members.

I would urge you to pass on details to your colleagues to ensure that everyone can benefit from this scheme.

This scheme assists the Fire & Rescue service in a number of different ways. It offers great deals to those that work and have worked within the service at no extra cost, it supports work being carried out by the Chief Fire Officers Association and we are exploring a further route for the service to target fire safety messages through the advertisers.

Finally, I would like to offer my sincere thanks to all the sponsors for choosing to advertise in this year’s Fire & Rescue Service Discount Directory and, in doing so, for supporting the fire & rescue community.

Notes from the team at Crest Publications

Crest Publications was established 15 years ago and are specialists in military publishing. Now, working in partnership with the Fire Service Federation, Crest have created this website in order to ensure that you have maximum possible access to discounts as a member of the Fire Service Community.

The team at Crest are constantly working on your behalf to arrange new deals with more companies who want to reward you for the vitally important work you do. This means that new discount opportunities are being added to the website on a weekly basis.

We will always aim to ensure that the service provided to you by this website is as helpful as possible. To this end we have created a mechanism by which you can let us know if you are unhappy with any aspect of the site. You can also let us know if you have had any difficulties in claiming your discount from any of the companies advertising on the site. To get in touch with us send an e-mail to feedback@fireandrescue-discounts.co.uk Your feedback will help us to improve the scheme in future years.

If you are not already signed up to the newsletter (you will be given this option when you register) you can do this by emailing our feedback email address. The newsletter will keep you up to date with new discounts as well as discounts that are soon to be added to help you plan ahead to save money on your purchases. In addition to this the newsletter features competitions you can enter to win some fabulous prizes – surely something for nothing can’t be a bad thing……

Finally don’t forget that this is the only Fire Service discount website that is officially recognised by the Fire Service Federation. Make sure you check the web address when you log on.
