Barry Beavis, Sales Manager for Golden Thread Fire Delay Ltd and one of the presenters at the seminar said:
“Fire safety in universities and colleges is becoming increasingly complex. Large estates, mixed-use buildings, student accommodation, heritage sites, and evolving regulations mean evacuation planning is no longer straightforward. Getting it right is critical for safety, compliance, and operational continuity.
That’s exactly why we run our annual Fire Safety & Evacuation Seminar — designed specifically for Fire Safety Officers, Estates Teams, and Maintenance Professionals working across the University and College sector.
If a fire alarm went off on your campus today — would everyone know exactly what to do? Effective evacuation planning takes more than one role. It relies on Fire Safety, Estates, Facilities, Health & Safety and Accommodation teams working together across complex estates, and that is the conversation we are bringing together at our Fire Safety & Evacuation Seminar.”
Join industry experts and sector peers for practical guidance, shared experiences, and best-practice strategies tailored to higher education environments.
