The Fire Industry Association (FIA) is excited to invite professionals from across the fire protection sector to our next Technical Breakfast Club – Q&A Session, hosted at FIA Northwich. Designed for inquisitive minds, this interactive morning session is your chance to explore, discuss, and challenge the latest technical updates and regulatory changes shaping our industry.

From BS 5839-1 revisions to F-Gas regulations, emergency lighting standards, and emerging industry qualifications, this session is packed with essential updates and expert analysis, all served alongside a breakfast spread including bacon rolls, croissants, and coffee.

This event is anything but your typical passive seminar. It’s your questions that set the agenda. Our panel, comprised of FIA Technical Managers Will Lloyd, Neil Budd, Robert Thillthorpe, and Technical Officer Jamie Gale, will be on hand to answer questions submitted in advance or asked live on the day.

We’ll cover:

• The BS 5839-1 update (and what's still unclear)
• New and upcoming changes to F-Gas regulation
• Emergency lighting requirements
• The next wave of industry qualifications
• Key challenges around risk assessment
• Plus: whatever you bring to the table!

In return for a modest attendance fee, you’ll receive 3 CPD hours, direct access to the FIA’s technical brain trust, and the opportunity to have your specific concerns addressed in a relaxed, collaborative environment.

Submit your questions in advance to [email protected] to shape the discussion and get the most out of your morning.

Don’t miss this chance to connect with the people behind the policies, regulations, and guidance documents that keep our industry moving forward.
