Qualifications & Experience

I have 30 years Fire Brigade experience across 3 separate fire services – (North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service, Grampian Fire Brigade and Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue). I worked in a wide range of roles including Operations, Community Safety and Training. For the majority of the last 10 years I served as a senior Fire Safety Officer with responsibilities for Audits, Building Regulations and Enforcement across the entire range of Commercial Premises types and also those domestic properties covered by the Fire Safety Order. 

This experience leaves me well qualified to provide Fire Risk Assessments for your premises. To date I have completed over 200 Fire Risk Assessments on properties such as Nursing Homes, Residential Care Homes, Hotels, Flats, Houses in Multiple Occupation, Factories, Offices, Schools, Colleges, Licensed Premises, Nurseries, Hostels, Shops, Hospices, and Rental Properties.
