C-TEC’s Andrew Foster Appointed to FIA Board and Council

C-TEC’s Managing Director, Andrew Foster, has been elected to the Fire Industry Association’s Board of Directors and reappointed to its Fire Detection and Alarm (FD&A) Council.

Andrew began his career as an electrical engineer before founding C-TEC, one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of life-safety systems in 1981. Passionate about R&D, UK manufacturing and creating innovations to enhance fire safety, he is a hands-on MD with a wealth of technical knowledge and real-life experience.

He said: “I am delighted to have been appointed to the Board and am looking forward to sharing my insight and practical knowledge to promote members’ interests and shape the future of our industry. I am also honoured to have been given the opportunity to continue contributing to the valuable work carried out by the FD&A Council.”

Dan Foster, C-TEC’s Director of Science, has also been appointed to the FIA’s new Technology Council. Involved in the design, certification and ongoing safety of the technologies used in the company’s life-safety systems, Dan will work with other members of the Council to guide the industry in this vital area and keep the FIA at the forefront of technological innovation.

C-TEC is a leading UK manufacturer of world-class open-protocol fire detection and fire alarm system solutions for commercial and residential buildings. In addition to fire systems, lockdown systems and evacuation alert systems, the company also manufactures some of the UK’s most-respected call systems, disabled refuge systems and hearing loop systems.
