Small trip out this morning with afternoon dedicated to tidying my messy files.

You are keeping files on me?!!

In my last role, I wanted to roll P50s out across the estate but was a bit concerned about using innovative fire safety equipment that turns out not as advertised after a bruising reputational encounter I experienced. I recommended the installation of an expensive video smoke detection system which ...

No cooked breakfast for me now

Good luck with your search

While true, I've always considered the SFRS when I carry out an FRA.

Instead, consider what risk is presented Ignition sources are key, so controlling the temporary wiring ...

Take care everyone A p...
