Forging New Relationships

A recent collaboration between the BSIA and the Fire Industry Association will mean that their respective industries will reap real rewards. Martin Duggan, General Manager of the FIA, looks at this new relationship and gives an overview of the work of the Association.

The Fire Industry Association officially came into being in April 2007, created from the amalgamation of the British Fire Protection Systems Association (BFPSA) and the Fire Extinguishing Trades Association (FETA). There were several drivers for delivering a single association. These included the recognition that there are many political, legislative and regulatory issues as well as some technical and commercial reasons common to both associations.
