Her work has included leading major programmes for the UK government and contributing to the development of fire and rescue capabilities internationally. She also holds leadership roles within industry bodies, including the Fire Industry Association Export Council and the Fire and Rescue Suppliers Association, and is known for her focus on strengthening professional standards and sector collaboration.
Sachit Rajan adds a strong background in strategy, governance and investment. His experience spans multiple sectors and regions, with a focus on supporting organisations through growth, transformation and ESG integration.
