AICO LAUNCHES PLATINUM PARTNER INITIATIVE Aico, the European market leader in home life safety, has announced its new Platinum Partner initiative – a prestigious recognition programme designed to elevate industry standards and reinforce a commitment to excellence across the company’s installer network. Building on the success of the Gold Standard Installer programme, Aico says that its Platinum Partner status represents the ‘next tier of excellence’. To qualify, organisations must meet stringent criteria, including City & Guilds-certified training, ISO 9001 accreditation, site visits with Aico, and active involvement in sustainability and corporate social responsibility efforts. The first Platinum Partner was announced at Housing 2025 in Manchester in June – a fitting stage for this landmark initiative that aims to transform industry expectations. Backed by enhanced support, strategic collaboration, and increased visibility, Platinum Partners will help set the standard for safer homes and stronger communities. As building regulations tighten and safety expectations rise, Aico’s new initiative signals a bold step forward in raising installation standards across the UK. Read the full article in this month’s issue to learn how Aico’s Platinum Partner programme is shaping the future of fire and carbon monoxide alarm installation.
