Beverley Gallacher - Director
I am the Director of Commercial Services for South Essex Property Services and have been in post for 2 and a half years. During that time we have expanded our services to include fire door maintenance and servicing. We have an excellent track record in this business area having serviced all fire doors in the 13 high rise tower blocks in Southend over the last 3 years.
