Telgian Fire Safety has expanded its leadership team with the promotion of two long-serving members to vice president roles, reinforcing its commitment to operational excellence and customer protection.

Stephanie Hovey has been appointed Vice President of Inspection Operations, stepping up from her role as Senior Manager of Client and Vendor Operations.

She will now lead inspection, testing and maintenance services across the business, ensuring critical fire and life safety systems are ready to perform when required.

With more than 15 years of experience in operations management and customer service, she brings a strong focus on protecting people and property through compliance and preparedness.

Valerie Olivas has also been promoted, taking on the position of Vice President of Repair Operations. She will oversee repair services for fire and life safety systems nationwide, helping facilities maintain operational reliability and compliance.

Since joining Telgian in 2007, Olivas has developed wide-ranging expertise in the logistical and technical challenges of the industry, making her well-placed to lead this area of the business.

Telgian Fire Safety President Dan Vandergriff said the promotions highlighted the impact of both leaders on the company’s success and future direction. He praised their vision, dedication and contribution to raising standards in fire protection services across the country.

Since its founding in 1985, Telgian Fire Safety has built a reputation as a trusted provider of testing, inspection and repair for fire and life safety systems.

The company supports more than 50,000 client locations each year, offering services from fire sprinklers and alarms to extinguishers, special hazard systems and monitoring, with a focus on standardised processes and consistent quality across multi-site operations.
