Last Thursday, members of The Fire Safety Event team - Karim Makki, Kyle McKen, Hollie Brackstone, Alexandra Rambo, and Jiya Mistry - attended the Fire Industry Association (FIA) AGM Annual Lunch, one of the most anticipated gatherings in the fire safety calendar.

🔥 Proud Sponsors
We were proud to sponsor this year’s event - an incredible day that brought together key voices and decision-makers from across the fire safety industry. From insightful presentations to valuable networking, the FIA AGM remains a cornerstone event for everyone shaping the future of fire safety.

🎤 Key Takeaways and Industry Voices

As Chris Tilley summed up perfectly, “This is every single decision maker in one place, under one roof, at one time.”

The event offered a unique opportunity to connect with colleagues and partners across the industry.

Neil Grice added, “It's important to keep up to date with what's going on in the industry, and to see our colleagues. It's a central point for us.”

Over a three-course meal, attendees shared insights, ideas, and future plans - all reinforcing the sense of collaboration and community that drives our sector forward.

🏆 Celebrating Achievement
A highlight of the day was watching Sir Ken Knight receive the Lifetime Achievement Award, a well-deserved recognition for his outstanding contribution to fire safety over the years.
