The FIA has been working to promote the interests and concerns of our industry in Brexit issues such as UKCA. To ensure we are being as effective as possible in representing the views of our members and the fire industry to key stakeholders, it is crucial that we have accurate and up-to-date information from you.
Our industry has been through a drastic period of change over the last few years due to the Grenfell Tower tragedy, Brexit and most recently COVID-19.

In 2020, we undertook a survey and produced a report that explored the impact of COVID-19. This year we aim to unpack the impacts of Brexit.

We value your opinion and look forward to hearing how Brexit has affected you and your business in our latest survey. It would be greatly appreciated if you can you take a few minutes to complete the survey here.
