Service Overview
Premier Inn Birmingham Waterloo, a well-known hotel chain, recently underwent major refurbishment works. To ensure the safety of their guests and staff, Element, a trusted supplier of fire protection services for Novus/Whitbread, was chosen to perform critical fire safety assessments and installations.
