We are deeply saddened to share the news of the recent passing of Keith Goodwin.

Keith was a dedicated and long-serving member of both the Fire Industry Association (FIA) and its predecessor, the Fire Extinguishing Trades Association (FETA). His commitment and expertise greatly contributed to the advancement of trade association initiatives and standardization efforts, helping to elevate the quality and professionalism of the UK portables industry.

Throughout his distinguished career, Keith held several key roles, including Vice Chair of FETA. Following the formation of the FIA, he continued his service as a Board Member and Chair of both the Services Council and the Portables Servicing Committee. He also represented the FIA on the BAFE Council, further demonstrating his dedication to the industry.

In recognition of his outstanding contributions, Keith was awarded Lifetime Honorary Membership of the FIA at the 2013 Annual General Meeting.

Keith will be profoundly missed by all who had the privilege of working with him. Our heartfelt condolences go out to Alex and the entire Goodwin family during this difficult time.
