Conference Director Russ Timpson commented, “2018 was our best conference to date with 32 Countries attending the conference, along with 28 of the UK Fire and Rescue Services. As an industry, we must get to the bottom of the fire testing debate and provide a reliable standard for the construction industry. Drones and new technology have a major role to play and we want the conference to be the place where new innovations can be showcased”.
