Lifeline has announced a new period of growth and expansion, driven by increasing demand for locally based, community-focused fire and security services across the Isle of Wight.
The expansion will see the creation of 3 new jobs alongside infrastructure investment, adding to the company’s existing 23-strong Island workforce and facilities at its dedicated Security Centre on Riverway in Newport.
As businesses and the cross-Solent transport landscape continue to evolve, both homeowners and companies are seeking reassurance that their fire and security systems are supported by a local, accessible team offering a broad range of services and specialist support.
Recent changes within the local provider market, disruption to ferry schedules and rising costs are said to be contributing to this shift.
Mark Lee, Managing Director, has said:
“We are incredibly proud to be the Isle of Wight’s local fire and security specialists.
“As our community grows and changes, so does the need for reliable support delivered by people who genuinely care about the Island. We’re proud of the customers we already serve and excited to welcome new customers on board, reflecting our long-standing commitment to fire and security, service and local expertise.”

In recent weeks, the company has reported a notable increase in enquiries, with many new customers transferring their maintenance, monitoring, support and compliance needs to Lifeline. This is said to be driven by a desire for greater stability, continuity of care and a provider with a strong understanding of the Isle of Wight and its requirements.
Established for over 35 years, Lifeline states it remains the only Isle of Wight-based provider with NSI Gold and BAFE third party accreditation. These accreditations provide independent verification of technical competence and quality standards in security and fire safety.
The company has also received multiple industry awards, including the National Security and Fire Excellence Award.
