why choose me

Experienced Fire Safety Inspecting Officer

Ensuring fire safety isn’t just a legal requirement—it’s a responsibility that protects lives, property, and the future of your business. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, every Responsible Person (RP) must take proactive steps to identify fire hazards, assess risk, and implement effective safety measures. That’s where I come in.

I’m Matt Lyness, an experienced fire safety inspecting officer and fire risk assessor, with 25 years of front-line firefighting and regulatory fire service experience I understand the requirements placed upon the Responsible Person by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

My role as an inspecting officer and trainer of fire safety inspectors for a large metropolitan fire service gives me a unique insight into how these regulations are enforced in the real world.

I can help you meet these requirements to protect people, property, and your business.

Testimonial

Our Clients Have Trusted
Me for my work

“In July 2025 we opened our children's soft play business in Stratford upon Avon and we naturally put Safety as our number one priority. We approached Mr Matt Lyness for expert advice and fire safety information. Matt not only advised us on our location layout he introduced us to his own version of a Fire Safety Log Book. This ensured we met all necessary checks on a periodical basis; daily, weekly, monthly etc. the book is extremely easy to navigate and use. ”
