Business Manager at the ASFP, Mike Ward, expressed his excitement for the return of FIREX: “It’s been three years since ASFP put up its big top at FIREX and invited members and stakeholders to engage in the disciplines of passive fire in construction.

“Looking forward to the three days in May at Excel, the ASFP pavilion will be surrounded by over 20 member companies, repeat the hugely successful learning zone theatre, have access to the new website and store, and feature details on the value of training and membership and include the ASFP team to answer your questions.

“The award-winning ASFPTV will have a corner of the pavilion set aside to talk to those having presented in the ASFP learning zone or other theatres, members and notable individuals of the regulatory, design/construction and facilities community.

“ASFP Officers and Managers will also be presenting on various platforms and in theatres around the show on key topics such as the recent Royal accent of the Building Safety Bill, the challenges of UKCA and what the passive fire industry is doing to align itself to these demands.”
