Harmony Fire has appointed Graham Oliphant FCIOB as managing director of its consultancy business.
Bringing over 23 years of life safety expertise, most recently as Director of national fire consultancy Bullock Group, Oliphant has a proven track record successfully navigating complex regulatory, organisational and asset environments to deliver robust safety assurance.
Oliphant’s appointment represents a wider and sustained investment by Harmony Fire in its consultancy business to reflect a growth in demand for the life safety specialist’s full-service capability. Operating nationally, Harmony Fire provides Housing Associations, Local Authorities and the NHS with safety services, from fire engineering consultancy, through to in-house design, delivery and ongoing maintenance.
The strong growth in Harmony Fire’s consultancy services corresponds with an increasingly complex and dynamic regulatory environment that demands organisational leaders place a continuous and proactive focus on life safety.
“Incredibly exciting”
Oliphant said: “Harmony Fire stands out in this specialist field as an innovative, agile organisation driving the transformational change that saves lives and makes communities safer. It’s incredibly exciting to be joining a business that is both bringing world-leading technology to the life safety market through its Auro brand, while simultaneously creating Life Guard, which demystifies leadership and organisational safety obligations to transform conversations and actions.”
“Our consultancy offer is rooted in our experience and technical expertise working across challenging and demanding property scenarios, recognising that life safety is not a tick box exercise but an essential element of an organisation’s asset management strategy. Applying our detailed knowledge of design, buildability, delivery and lifecycle considerations informs robust cost and scope analysis, eliminating uncertainty and future-proofing asset management decision making.”
