I was referred to Malcolm by a friend who manages property for a living. Malcolm carried out my Fire Risk Assessment within days of me making contact, with the report following a few days later (over a weekend). He was a delight to deal with, always kept me informed, and the cost was very reasonable indeed. I will be using Malcolm for any future FRA’s I require and will be sure to recommend him to friends.
We recently undertook Fire Safety Training under the instruction of Malcolm Cook who delivered the key facts and important messages in an informative and interesting way. All staff were able to put the Fire Extinguisher training into good use in the Staff Car Park practicing what had been learnt, ensuring that we are well prepared should the need occur.
We were very happy with the service that Malcolm provided. It was easy to contact him and to arrange a date so that he could assess our premises – both business and residential. He turned up on time and fitted in around us enabling us to carry on with our working day. He was polite and very helpful in explaining what he needed to do and with regards to his findings on the day. He emailed us his comprehensive report within a few days and has offered to answer any questions we might have about it.
I would highly recommend him.
