The FPA has had some exciting new announcements over the past month, most notably the upcoming move to new office premises which will include our Training and Education Centre (TEC) in Banbury, Oxfordshire in January 2026. The new premises will see our current classroom provision double and will incorporate a brand-new practical training suite to provide our learners with a comprehensive training experience and immersive environment.
Elsewhere, in addition to launching our new partnerships aimed at enhancing support and development for fire safety professionals (see opposite), we are also pleased to welcome independent insurance brokerage Lockton as the latest organisation to join the RISCAuthority research scheme.
Lockton brings a wealth of customer insight from its broker risk management team, and following a popular interactive presentation at the RISCAuthority annual seminar in July, has already demonstrated that it will play an active role in the research scheme moving forward.
