Fairfield Builders Supplies, of the Tongue Lane Industrial Estate, now has their own defibrillator.

It is after Fairfield Builders Supplies won a free-to-enter prize draw to win a defibrillator with a company located just 3.1 miles away from the new defibrillator.

High Peak Comps, the online prize draw operator based in nearby Dove Holes, has paid for the defibrillator and its installation.

The defibrillator is at the Fairfield Builders Supplies site opposite New Bodies Gym, right next to Fairfield Builders Supplies customer parking.

Fairfield Builders Supplies will celebrate their 65th anniversary in 2028, and the defibrillator will last way into the 2030s before parts will need to be replaced.
