“ TOO LITTLE TOO LATE ”
Nicola John , Managing Director at Fire Door Maintenance , part of UAP Ltd
» “ THE GOVERNMENT ’ S PLANS TO invest in cladding removal are too little too late . Instead of addressing the root causes of poor fire safety standards , this step only addresses the symptoms . To truly overcome the causes of catastrophes like Grenfell , we need to train the industry to understand the entire lifecycle of fire safety products so there are no knowledge gaps . It ’ s only with this that the industry can move forward , and we need regulatory oversight in place from the top down .”
