With his 29 years experience in the industry, our very own Darren Baird has been selected as a keynote speaker for Procurement for Housing (PfH) Live 2019, Europe’s largest and most inclusive housing festival.

Darren’s session will be from 14:00pm-14:30pm on Wednesday 26th June and the focus of the discussion will be: Fire Risk Management – What is your organisational risk?

This will look at the fire risk management cycle and in particular the difficulties in managing the outputs (significant findings) of the fire risk assessments and the difficulties in managing multiple actions across differing property types. Some of the key discussion points will be:

• Competency required in conducting fire risk assessments
• Fire risk management in a post Grenfell, Hackett Review world
• How do you effectively manage the fire risk assessment actions?
• The difference between life safety and property protection actions.

Kicking off on Tuesday 25th June, PfH live is hosted in Manchester’s exhibition centre, Manchester Central and is co-located with the Chartered Institute of Housing’s event: Housing 2019.

The annual industry event is a must attend event for companies within the housing industry. Just like previous years, this year’s event boasts another excellent programme of industry expert speakers and exhibitors, from government officials to leaders in the housing sector. Who will be discussing and debating the biggest challenges facing the sector, as well as, topics surrounding this year’s core themes – Compliance, Technology and Social Value.
