Nineteen Group Named Advocate of the Year at the ASFP Awards

We’re delighted to announce that Nineteen Group has been awarded Advocate of the Year at the prestigious Association for Specialist Fire Protection (ASFP) Awards!🏆

This recognition highlights our ongoing commitment to raising passive fire safety awareness - most notably through The Fire Safety Event, which has grown into the UK’s leading event for education, innovation, and collaboration across the sector. By bringing experts together and enabling essential conversations, the event plays a key role in helping professionals access the knowledge and tools they need to drive real change.

More recently, our work at London Build Expo has strengthened this commitment even further, helping us reach new audiences and encourage greater cross-industry engagement.

A special congratulations to Karim Makki and Kyle McKen from The Fire Safety Event, who were delighted to accept this award on behalf of Nineteen Group. And of course, a huge thank you goes to the ASFP for this honour, and to our incredible team whose passion and dedication make achievements like this possible.

Here’s to continuing the work that truly matters. 👏
