Zenova Group PLC (AIM:ZED)

Zenova's FP fire-resistant paint approved for use by the London Borough of Redbridge

Zenova Group PLC("Zenova", the "Company" or the "Group"), a provider of innovative fire safety and heat management technology and products, is pleased to announce that its Zenova FP fire-resistant paint has been approved for use by the London Borough of Redbridge.

Before Zenova FP can be used by a contractor in a local authority owned building, it must first be‘specified'for use as a fire protection product by the local authority.

Zenova FP became specified as a fire-resistant paint by the London Borough of Redbridge after Pelling LLP, an award winning multi-disciplinary design, property and construction consultancy, included it in the specification for the refurbishment of Ilford High Road Deco Building; a project Pelling is managing on behalf of the London Borough of Redbridge.

Commenting on the news, Tony Crawley, Chief Executive of Zenova Group PLC said:"Whilst we have long known of Zenova FP's excellent abilities to prevent ignition and the spread of fire, its inclusion by Pelling LLP in the specification for the refurbishment of publicly owned buildings, and Zenova FP becoming specified for use by local authorities, confirms both the confidence others have in Zenova FP and that it is rapidly becoming a leading fire protection paint.

"Achieving local authority specified status for Zenova FP as a fire protection product is incredibly important as, without it, contractors cannot use it in local authority owned buildings. As knowledge, understanding and appreciation of Zenova FP grows, we are targeting for Zenova FP to become a specified product with local authorities throughout the UK.

"This news quickly follows Zenova FP becoming a specified product in the London Borough of Enfield, and a relatively short time after Zenova's admission to AIM. We are pleased with the progress we are making in introducing our products to new markets and it is particularly satisfying thatlocal authorities are beginning to recognise the crucial role Zenova FP can play in improving fire safety in local authority owned buildings."

Zenova will be exhibiting at HOMES UK, the south's largest housing event, which takes place at London's ExCeL Centre on 23 and 24 November 2021. You can find out more about Zenova and its innovative fire safety and heat management technology and products by visiting stand H641.
