Glemnet Management

“We were thoroughly impressed with the professionalism, attention to detail, and practical guidance provided by Paul Jennings in the completion of our Fire Risk Assessment.

Paul brought a wealth of fire safety knowledge, combining operational insight with a clear understanding of current legislation and risk-based application. His methodical approach covered all aspects of the premises, from fire detection and escape routes to electrical hazards, emergency lighting, housekeeping, and occupant-specific risks.

The final report went far beyond a compliance checklist. It offered structured, well-justified recommendations grounded in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and supported by credible moral, legal, and financial rationale. Notably, Paul’s action plan highlighted areas we had previously overlooked, including gaps in compartmentation, untested emergency lighting, unmanaged escape routes, and absence of a lone worker policy.

Paul took the time to engage directly with our team, including the building manager and fire marshal, ensuring the findings were clearly communicated and understood. His collaborative and supportive style meant that safety improvements were not only identified but realistically implementable.

Thanks to Paul’s assessment, we have made measurable improvements in our fire safety management, awareness, and documentation. His work has provided a strong baseline for future reviews and assured us that we are taking the right steps to safeguard our people and our premises.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Paul for similar work and sincerely thank him for the value he brought to Glemnet Ltd.”

Doghurst Clinic

"Paul recently carried out a fire risk assessment at my private GP clinic, and I was extremely impressed with the service he provided. From the outset, he was efficient and well organised, completing the assessment promptly and with minimal disruption to the working day.

His attention to detail was excellent — he carefully considered all areas of the premises and highlighted potential risks I hadn’t previously thought of. The report he produced was clear, concise, and practical, with straightforward recommendations that were easy to understand and implement.

I found Paul to be professional, approachable, and highly knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to recommend his services to any healthcare or business owner looking for a thorough and reliable fire risk assessment.”
