Learn MoreNigel Taylor-Brown RIP
It is with deep regret that we report the passing of Nigel Taylor-Brown who was an Executive Council Member of the Institute of Fire Prevention Officers. Nigel was a key member of the council and was integral to the launch of the new Tiered Fire Risk Assessor Register. Nigels interactions with both the EC and the membership were a joy, working with old and new fire risk assessors to maintain the Institutes standards. As a group we all enjoyed Nigel’s company within the EC and socially. Nigels good humoured diligence and work ethic will be sadly missed by all on the EC. With more than 31 years of experience in Fire and Safety, he will be a great loss to the Institute and the industry in general. We send our heart felt sorrow to Nigel’s wife Tammy and share the loss with her and the family.
