Applications for our 2025 Fire Engineering Graduate scheme have now closed. We have been blown away by the overwhelming response and high calibre of applications received this year. It has been a pleasure to attend multiple universities throughout the past few months and meet many of you in person. We look forward to sharing more about our upcoming Graduate day for shortlisted candidates in the new year. #FireEngineering #Graduates #FireSafety

This year, we were privileged to sponsor three prestigious awards at the ATU Conferring Ceremony, recognising outstanding achievements in fire safety education. This marks our second year sponsoring the 3rd and 4th Year BEng awards, and we were proud to extend our support this year by sponsoring the BSc Hons (Online) award for the first time. Adam Taylor had the honour of presenting the following awards: Best 4th Year Dissertation (BEng Hons Fire Safety Engineering): Jason Dobson Best 3rd Year Fire Design Project (BEng Hons Fire Safety Engineering): Jordan Fortune Best Student Project (BSc Hons Fire Safety Engineering Online): Edel Kelly These awards reflect the dedication, innovation, and excellence demonstrated by these students, and each project highlights the critical thinking and commitment to fire safety that will shape the future of our industry. Congratulations to Jason, Jordan, and Edel on these well-deserved achievements! #AshtonFire #ATUConferring #FutureOfFireSafety #EngineeringExcellence #EmergingTalent

Last month, we saw a fantastic milestone for three talented members of our team: Sarah Barnett, Aaron Mc Glinchey, and Odhran Byrne, who graduated from ATU with honours degrees in fire safety engineering. Sarah achieved her BSc (Hons) in Fire Safety Engineering through a part-time online programme supported by Ashton Fire. Her commitment and hard work are an inspiration. Aaron and Odhran earned their BEng (Hons) in Fire Safety Engineering. Both joined us as interns in June 2023, balancing their final year at college with gaining hands-on experience at our Buncrana office. We’re thrilled they’ve now joined us as full-time graduate engineers. Please join us in congratulating Sarah, Aaron, and Odhran on their remarkable journey! #AshtonFire #FutureOfFireSafety #EngineeringExcellence #TeamSuccess

Lisa Goodman will be at the London Build Expo this week. If you're attending and fancy a coffee or catch-up, do drop her a message.

Planning Submitted - Colmore Row We’re excited to announce that planning has been submitted for a landmark office restoration in Birmingham’s Colmore and Environs Conservation Area. This sensitive retrofit combines heritage and sustainability, aligning with the Snow Hill Masterplan to support Birmingham’s ongoing regeneration. Acting as Project Managers, collaborating with an outstanding team, we look forward to bringing this vision to life. 🏛️ Highlights include: Historic Restoration: Refurbishing a 1917 Edwardian Neo-Baroque building to celebrate its architectural legacy. Modern, Sustainable Design: Featuring a zinc-clad extension, responsibly sourced and recyclable materials, and set to achieve LETI B minimum for upfront embodied carbon, BREEAM ‘Excellent,’ NABERS 4.5*, and a minimum EPC B rating. Wellness-Focused Spaces: A 2700 sqft landscaped roof terrace designed for well-being and green connections to Cathedral Square, along with a ground-floor business lounge to foster links to nature and occupant wellness.

Edward Shapcott has been awarded the Ashton Fire best fire thesis prize at The University of Edinburgh for his work "heat induced delamination in timber: a novel peeling test." The £1000 prize recognises outstanding research in fire safety engineering. Edward's work developed a purpose-built experimental setup to explore thermal, mechanical, and flammability aspects of mass timber, creating new software tools for analysis. The research has been recommended for peer-reviewed publication. Congratulations Edward on this achievement in advancing our understanding of mass timber delamination behaviour under different fire and loading conditions. We're looking forward to your presentation to the team in January. #AshtonFire #BestFireThesis #FireEngineering #MassTimber

We're excited to launch our Technical Excellence Strategy, empowering our engineers to lead specialised Technical Skills Groups across key areas of fire engineering. Our holistic strategy focuses on fostering a culture where we align technical passion and experience of our engineers with commercial challenges which is supported through continuous learning and research.   Click on the link to find out more. #AshtonFire #FireEngineering #FireSafety

We have been recognised by Best Companies as an outstanding organisation to work for. This year was our first year taking part in the Best Companies engagement survey, and we were delighted to receive a 100% response rate and hear from every team member across the organisation. We couldn’t be prouder of our results, only a small two points away from receiving ‘World Class’ accreditation. Our people and our culture have been and will always be the most important thing to us, and we are so proud of our teams for all of their hard work and commitment to making Ashton Fire an outstanding place to work. #AshtonFire #OutstandingPlaceToWork

Last month, we hosted our second Graduate Day. Graduates from all our offices across the UK and Ireland gathered in Manchester for a day of insightful fire engineering discussions. It was a fantastic opportunity for our graduates to share knowledge and ask questions in a relaxed and collaborative environment. Then, after a full day of learning, we took to the slopes to unwind! We also wish to say a big thank you to everyone involved who made the day a success.  #AshtonFire #GraduatesAtWork
