Laws and standards are also continually being amended and improved; creating a highly complex environment in which to operate for building owners and facilities managers. Therefore, FES consults widely, invests heavily and needs to remain up to date in this regard, so that compliant services and advice may be given to clients at any time. Yarnall foresees a future challenge being that of digital transformation and live reporting. He acknowledges, “Clients, particularly at the Board level, will increasingly want access to live data dashboards that provide real-time insights into their asset management portfolio and risk profile. They will want to see customised data reports showing what risks exist, how they’re being managed, outstanding actions and further opportunities to ensure compliance and best practice to mitigate risk for their asset portfolio.” He stresses how “extraordinarily appreciative” the organisation is of all its existing partnerships, staff, contractors and suppliers. For FES, the next three to five years is all about enhancing the capability of the community to prevent, respond to and control fire and other emergency incidents. Improved fire and emergency safety features in all buildings and reducing the environmental impacts of the industry are other important objectives, along with digital innovation and transformation. All will be key elements for the success of FES and the fire safety industry going forward.
