Press Release

London, Thursday 2^nd October - The FIA is proud to announce a remarkable evening of recognition at the 2025 Memcom Awards, where the Association stood out among over 500 representatives from leading membership organisations across diverse sectors.

The FIA took home two prestigious awards:

• Best Transformation Project
• Best Use of Technology

Both accolades recognised the FIA’s collaboration with Smart Impact on the development and implementation of AI-driven solutions and the transformation of its website. This achievement reflects the FIA’s ongoing commitment to innovation and delivering exceptional value to its members.

In addition to these wins, the FIA was recognised as a runner-up in two further categories:

• Team of the Year
• Best Collaborative Partnership (with Smart Impact)

This meant the FIA team was called to the stage four times throughout the evening – a clear demonstration of how the Association continues to lead by example in the membership sector.

Commenting on the achievement, FIA CEO Ian Moore, OBE, said:

“These awards are more than a recognition of our innovation – they affirm the strength of our Member Value Proposition. At the FIA, our commitment is to organisational excellence, ensuring our members receive the very best resources, representation, and opportunities to grow. These wins highlight not only the capability of our team but also the value of collaboration, innovation, and the power of our community.”

Adding to this, Ahmed Eltohamy of Smart Impact commented:

“This award is really about the strength of our partnership with the FIA. They were open to new ways of working and committed to harnessing innovation and the best use of technology. Together we made big changes that have had a real impact. It’s been a brilliant example of what can happen when you trust each other and work towards the same goal.”

Driving Innovation for the Fire Industry

While Memcom is a cross-sector body recognising excellence across all membership organisations, FIA’s success in this setting demonstrates the Association’s ability to stand tall beyond the fire sector alone. FIA’s focus on digital transformation and cutting-edge technology reflects its broader mission – to promote, improve, and perfect fire protection methods while leading as a trusted authority and collaborative partner.

This recognition reinforces the FIA’s commitment to harnessing technology and innovation to enhance its training, compliance, and membership services, ensuring members are supported in navigating industry challenges and achieving excellence.
