"I certainly support any proposal which places the issues surrounding Fire Doors to the fore. Facilities/Estates managers should be made aware of just how important these doors are in relation to their respective fire strategies."

“The TFDE seminar was a great benefit to both my staff and myself. The structure of the seminar was excellent as it highlighted the importance of considering the performance of a fire door as a complete doorset.”
- Patrick Hayes - Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust
“Our hospital maintenance team thoroughly enjoyed the FDHS seminar day. It was informative, engaging and delivered to a very high standard. As the Specialist Fire Safety Advisor, I am always looking to improve the skills of our trades people and maintenance staff. Not only did this day provide valuable insight into fire doors, but it counted towards CPD for those who attended. I highly recommend the day for anyone involved in the maintenance of fire doors in public buildings.”
