All things either crossing the mind or path of Tony Hanley, MD FirePro UK Ltd, Vice Chairman, Fire Industry Association,
Welcome, colleagues and friends, to the inaugural post of the “MD’s Desk” blog/vlog. It’s a bit of blog writing (No AI, as it will only spit drivel out) and, or vlog talking to camera.
I’ve put this space up as a to share a ‘broad church’ of my thoughts, updates, and reflections on the ever-evolving landscape that is fire systems engineering world, as well as a rake of other happenings on our planet. Whether you’re a specifier, influencer, end user, an approved FirePro Ambassador or just a curious visitor, my intention is to provide a source of insight, even occasional controversy, some inspiration, and connection.
Why This Blog/Vlog?
We live in times of constant change and rapid innovation; to me, open communication is now more important than ever. I am up for sharing my views and thoughts on what’s happening, to keep you informed about our strategic direction, celebrate the good stuff, challenge the norm (someone must), and spark dialogue. Please don’t hesitate to join the conversation in the comments or reach out directly with your thoughts. We can’t all be right, or wrong.
What not to expect
· Boring industry ‘me too tripe’ commentary or mind numbingly statements treating the reader like a complete imbecile.
What you can expect
· Industry perspectives: Challenges, and opportunities shaping our sector and the wider economy.
· Spotlight on features: There are some great people, businesses and products in our industry, that for me, shine through, so giving this some airtime will be well worthwhile.
· Business insights & challenges: Overcoming obstacles, growing resilience, and forever aiming to always be on the front foot, including true events from my own journey.
· What motivates me, or keeps me awake at night.
· Company News: Announcements, milestones, and progress updates from across our business.
Come along for the ride
I’m keen to use this blog/vlog to connect more closely with you all, to talk openly, listen, and to make a positive contribution. It may not be everyone’s ‘cup of tea’, that’s fine.
Thanks for taking a look, I look forward to posting updates and insights from the Managing Director’s Desk, and, most importantly, hearing from you.
