ASFP Marketing Officer Anna Hayes talks about the 2021 award winners. The Association for Specialist Fire Protection (ASFP) announced the winners of the 2021 Passive Fire Protection Awards, at the Association’s Awards Lunch at the Edwardian Hotel in Manchester on 26 November 2021. Broadcaster, naturalist and marine biologist Monty Hall presented awards to the winners in six categories, each recognising excellence within the passive fire protection industry.
Optimum Fire Stopping - Grange University Hospital The winner of the ASFP Best Installation of the Year Award was Optimum Drywall Systems for its SCCC - Grange University Hospital project. As one of the largest passive fire protection projects in the South-west and Wales, this project presented many design challenges that were resolved with innovative solutions. It demonstrated that a positive collaboration of design, client, supplier and installation professionals can be achieved.
Kieran Carlisle - Checkmate Fire Solutions The Individual Rising Star of the Year, which recognises those earmarked as future industry leaders, was named as Kieran Carlisle of Checkmate Fire. Kieran joined Checkmate as a graduate in 2017 and has quickly developed a sound technical knowledge. Having taken advantage of all of the training opportunities available to him to expand his knowledge of the passive fire protection industry, he has been rewarded by receiving a quick succession of role promotions.
Jim O’Hagan - Structural Fireproofing System The Lifetime Contribution Award was awarded posthumously to Jim O’Hagen of Structural Fireproofing Systems, a hugely respected stalwart of the industry who died during 2021. Jim was a pioneer of the nascent fireproofing industry in the 1970s, eventually establishing Structural Fireproofing Systems in the early 1990s. With a lifelong association with the ASFP, Jim served on the Council, always striving to improve standards in the industry. The award recognises his huge contribution to both the ASFP and the wider passive fire industry.
