Encon Launches Burning Wisdom Podcast Series

Our industry is facing significant changes in regulations and attitudes around building and fire safety since the Grenfell Tower disaster, rightly positioning product performance and competence top of mind. The Building Safety Act mandates a careful approach to planning and construction of higher-risk buildings (HRBs), ensuring building safety is evaluated at each stage, or gateway, of the project.
Nevill White prepares to host the Burning Wisdom Fire Protection Podcast

The welcome refocus on fire safety means every stakeholder within the supply chain must understand and actively work to meet regulations and ensure safe and timely project completion.

As an experienced and knowledgeable distributor of passive fire protection, we are releasing our Burning Wisdom podcast series, discussing the latest regulatory developments and covering other topical issues with a few of our leading manufacturer partners.
