What people say?

I attended the very first FREC 3 training course at Echo. The centre was brand new, tidy and very clean with up to date training materials. The centre manager Joe was there to great us each day. There was ambulances available for real life training scenarios. Thank you again Echo, I look forward to completing FREC 4 with you

Echo Fire and Medical provided a very quick response to our needs for a medical/ambulance provider at our annual event,. Our previous providers let us down just 3 days before the event, Echo kindly took our event on and provided an exceptional service. The team on the day were very friendly and professional.
