Qualifications - Fire and Safety Team

Kevin & Jacqui have in excess of twenty five years working in the care industry; focusing on various aspects of health and safety; including compiling fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. In 2008 they purchased a franchise and took an Institution of Fire Engineers approved Fire Risk Assessment course. For the next five years they traded as Fire Compliance & Safety (Basingstoke) Ltd. The franchise organisation ceased trading in 2010, allowing Kevin and Jacqui to build a strong business throughout the South East. This growth enabled them to expand to a base in the South West (Princetown) and move the South East base to Chichester. Consequently; the company name no longer seemed appropriate. After much prayerful consideration; Fire & Safety Team (FAST) was born.

Kevin and Jacqui continue to develop their skills and experience through a range of training, research and experience; ensuring the best possible outcome for all of our clients.
