On Saturday, March 22, 2025, a group of our team members took part in the Max McCormick Memorial Pickleball Event in Boston, MA, contributing both on and off the courts! While we didn’t exactly dominate the courts, we had a blast meeting the incredible family, friends, and supporters of Max.

The Max McCormick Memorial Foundation carried on Max’s legacy by supporting firefighters and fire departments through education, prevention, response, and recovery efforts. We were honored to have been part of such a special day and contribute to their meaningful work.

The Code Red Consultants team turned back the clock and rang in the holidays with a Roaring ’20s-themed celebration at GlenPharmer Distillery in Franklin, MA. True to theme, our team showed up in full 1920s flair—think flapper dresses, pinstripes, fedoras, pearls, and plenty of Gatsby-worthy glam. From the music to the décor, the evening was full of vintage vibes and festive cheer.

As with every year, the holiday party was a chance for our team members and their significant others to come together, unwind, and toast to the accomplishments of the past twelve months. With a backdrop of handcrafted cocktails, great food, and even better company, the night reminded us why we do what we do—not just for the incredible projects we support, but for the amazing people we get to work alongside.

In October 2024, our corporate headquarters officially relocated to a new space just down the street from our previous location in Southborough. We were thrilled to find a spot that meets the needs of our growing team.

Our new office is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, creative branding and designs, an abundance of conference rooms, a spacious meeting area, modern furniture, and more — all designed to foster collaboration and innovation.

We hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony surrounded by family, friends, and our amazing team to celebrate this exciting milestone! It was a wonderful opportunity to reflect on how far we’ve come and to look forward to the future we’re building together.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in marking this special occasion. Here’s to many more years of growth, collaboration, and success in our new space!

Code Red Consultants’ 2023 “Red Tie” holiday party was a night to remember!

As per our time-honored tradition, Code Red celebrated Halloween by hosting our highly anticipated annual Costume Contest. This year’s event was nothing short of a spectacular celebration of creativity and imagination. This year the Best Group Costume was awarded to “Star Wars: A New Hope” and the Best Individual Costume was awarded to “Forrest Gump”. 

Code Red demonstrated its commitment to breast cancer awareness by wearing PINK throughout the month of October both in the office and out in the field. The collective efforts of our team not only brought attention to this important cause but also helped to meet our donation goal towards finding a cure.

 

The WPI campus played host for our annual Team Building Event. As Code Red celebrates 10 Years in business, we took the opportunity to reflect and reconnect in the place where our collective passion for the Fire & Life Safety Industry was born. The day kicked-off with a gathering at the Fire Protection Engineering Department, situated within the Gateway Park complex, Gateway II, which was also established in 2013. From there, we divided into small groups for a campus scavenger hunt and wrapped up the day with a classic field day! From 4-legged races to textbook wrapping, and even a live-action Hungry Hippos game, the competition was intense!
