Fire Industry Association heralds acquisition of Igneo’s fire safety platform
18 January 2022
THE FIRE Industry Association (FIA), itself a major provider of fire safety training, has announced the acquisition of Igneo’s market fire safety platform. The latter’s industry initiative provides the first independent fire safety portal as a single point of reference for compliance and competence in the UK’s fire safety industry.

With over 3,000 companies listed, all of whom are certified by major bodies, Igneo harbours the very latest data on certifications within the industry. Indeed, the platform is an ideal tool for showcasing a fire company’s competence, certifications and insurance programmes. In essence, it has been developed to empower fire industry customers to make better choices and support those companies leading by example.
Going forward, the platform will continue to be supported by its industry founding sponsors including Consort Insurance, All Saved, the EA-RS Group, Britannia, Safelincs and Plumis.
Commenting on this development, Ian Moore (CEO) and Chris Tilley (commercial manager) of the FIA have issued a joint statement that reads: “We are excited to announce the acquisition of the Igneo platform which will enable the FIA to further provide enhanced data on the industry, in particular in relation to competence and certification of those companies operating in the UK’s fire safety market.”
Joshua Wheal and Arjun Kumar, co-founders of Igneo, responded: “We’ve been working with the FIA for the best part of a year now, developing a tool for the industry which providers faster and more intelligent insights into competency and certification for all fire companies and their customers. We firmly believe that the FIA is the best home for the platform as an independent third party to really push its adoption across the sector and further develop the automated offering which Igneo provides.”
