New name and status for key fire sector organisation

Latest News Mon, Feb 24, 2025 7:23 AM

The Fire Safety Federation has announced a name change to the Fire Sector Confederation (FSC) as it becomes a registered UK charity

The Confederation said the move was a key element of its strategic plan to establish itself as a public interest enterprise, enabling it to “serve the public and societal agenda over any individual demands”.

Attaining the UK charity status also “underscored the organisation’s commitment to impartiality and freedom from the dominance of any single stakeholder or interest group”, FSC added.

Commenting on the rebrand was FSC Executive Director, Steve McGuirk, who said: “We are delighted to have achieved this significant milestone in our strategy. Charitable status supports the Confederation’s role as a neutral and pivotal force to create a safer environment.”

“The name change was a requirement of the charity application process, but it better reflects our focus to deliver a strategic vision for collaboration that connects key stakeholders across the fire ecosystem to overcome the barriers to change and deliver meaningful and effective solutions to enhance fire safety in our society.”

Part of the rebrand involves an update to the organisation’s corporate branding and website, which includes a new digital collaboration hub for members. Part of the Confederation’s strategic action plan involves promoting interconnectivity in the industry through collaboration, transparency, and technology.

In 2022, the organisation launched a ‘national blueprint for fire safety’, setting out a possible pathway for the fire sector and government to work together to create a safer built environment for all.
