The London Fire Brigade (LFB) received extensive criticism in two recent independent reports highlighting the need for change and improvement [1].
The London Fire Commissioner (LFC), Andy Roe, is leading a vital transformation plan within the organisation with a focus on four strategic pillars: the best people and the best place to work; seizing the future; delivering excellence; and outward facing.

Guests will also be supported by:
