Mr Gary Grant
Overview
GARY GRANT MIFireE FIIRSM RSP ACABE PMSFPE MIFPO MIFSM MIET FRACS NAFRAR DipBFPSA
I have more than 30 years fire industry experience. I am listed as a Professional Member with The Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE) and Associate Member with the Chartered Association of Building Engineers (CABE), I am a full member of Institute of Fire Engineers (IFE). I am fully Third Party UKAS accredited and listed on the Warringtonfire FRACS Scheme whilst also accredited by the Institute of Fire Safety Managers (IFSM) on the NAFRAR Register Tier 3, which proves my competence in assessing all buildings including those above 18m in height. My qualifications and experience are deemed acceptable and meeting the criteria under the revised government Fire Safety Bill, to practice on all buildings of scope. I also hold full status with many other relevant professional bodies. I am currently a Fire Industry Association Fire Risk Assessment Council member.
At 50 years of age, I believe that I can still make a positive difference, a difference to improve the safety of others when they occupy a building. There are many, many changes afoot, all across the fire industry, being a Fellow of the IRSM and an active member of many other professional related bodies, allows me to crossover and provide an opportunity to influence others to assist and strengthen our own position as an Institute, I believe in cooperation, collaboration, and working together with others is essential to overcome any challenges that present themselves.
I am fortunate to have both engineering and consultancy skillsets with a broad spectrum of fire industry knowledge, skills and experience.
Over the years I have also held the offices of Chairman, Treasurer and Secretary on other voluntary committees such as the Herefordshire 4 x 4 Response Group, which in turn has provided me with additional skills and experience outside the fire industry.
I could list all of my personal experiences in our industry, however it is easier to say that I am not from a Fire and Rescue background and the only thing I don’t get involved with is Commercial Sprinklers.
