FIA launches survey to gauge impact of Brexit on UK’s fire sector
20 April 2021
THE FIRE Industry Association (FIA) has been working diligently on promoting the interests of the UK’s fire sector in relation to Brexit, focusing its attentions towards issues including the introduction of the UKCA mark and exporting scenarios. Now, the Trade Association is keen on asking its members and the wider industry for their views on how Brexit is impacting businesses.

In order to do so, the FIA has devised an online survey in a bid to elicit answers on general questions around the Brexit scenario, including an idea of how helpful Government guidance has been to date and also how the UK Conformity Assessed (UKCA) marking requirements are directly affecting solution providers in the marketplace. There are 28 questions to be answered in total.
Essentially, the survey’s objective is to understand the extent to which businesses have found it easy or difficult to adapt to changes in trading goods and/or services and the movement of their people in the time period since the ratification of the UK-EU Trade and Co-operation Agreement on 1 January 2021.
“In these unprecedented times,” comments the FIA, “it is difficult to distinguish between the impact of the pandemic versus Brexit on businesses and the economy. That’s precisely why we would appreciate it if you could help us by completing the survey.”
The link to complete the questions on the Survey Monkey platform is here. All details provided will remain confidential. The FIA never shares survey participants’ details with any third parties. Those participants who leave their details with the Trade Association will be entered into a prize draw to win a £50 Amazon voucher.
Participants are urged to complete the survey even if on some questions they answer ‘Don’t know’. Such responses are permissible in the survey. Indeed, such answers may be equally as valuable as others in the overall analysis.
*Survey results will be published in a detailed report in June which will be available to view on the FIA’s website
