ASFP UPDATE

WELCOME TO THE NEW ASFP WEBSITE

ASFP CEO Steve Davies provides a whistle-stop tour of the ASFP’s new website Quarter one of 2022 has been especially busy as we have refreshed our website and updated our Membership CRM system. The change brings a range of new benefits and services to Members and Non-Members alike, so here is a quick whistle-stop tour of how you can get the most from the ASFP online.

Membership

This is the biggest part of our web offering and the key to getting the most from it is to login. All ASFP members should have received an email invitation to create their own account and profile. If you haven’t received an invitation and you are an employee of an ASFP member, you can easily register; all you need to have is a member company email. Go to the Become a Member page and follow the link.

Non-members can also register with the ASFP to receive our updates and Association news. Once your registration has been approved by the ASFP Team and you are logged in you will be able to access a range of other services and ASFP members will automatically benefit from any applicable member discounts for training, documents and events. All registrants will receive the ASFP Weekly Newsletter, keeping you updated on what’s going on in the passive fire protection sector.

Members can also populate their own pages on the ASFP website, which will be displayed in the member search facility. Members should use these pages to explain what services their company offers, as well as posting comments, photos or suggestions on the main feed posting.

This area also has details of any ASFP courses and CPDs you may have completed, a record of invoices due or paid to the ASFP, as well as access to our Technical and Non-technical groups.

We have added a Member Hub where you can take advantage of a wide range of services that we have negotiated on your behalf. Many of these services are free or offer significant discounts that you can benefit from by simply registering. We will be adding more products and services to this area so watch this space.

ASFP Training

We have added the ability to book both our classroom and online training courses via our online booking system. Member discounts will be applied automatically once the member has logged in. There is information about the various courses, lists of dates, as well as the ability to create your own training record.

Knowledge Section

This contains all the ASFP publications and guidance documents for download. ALL these documents are free to ASFP members and are sent automatically to your registered email address. Non-members can also access ASFP guidance documents but for some, there is a charge attached.

This section is also home to our webinars allowing you to book and register for upcoming sessions as well as watch our previous webinars from the archives. A new section, Ask the Expert, lists ASFP staff, giving you the opportunity to contact the correct person with your queries or comments. From training queries through to technical advice, this is the area where you can reach out and ask the questions that have been puzzling you!

We are have a selection of short videos in this area, showing more details of how to get the most from our website.

News

Here you will find a wide range of content from weekly industry updates, through to the latest issue of Ignite magazine. This is also the location of ASFPTV, where we host various series of content to help you to learn about ASFP members and gain a greater understanding of the sector and all the latest associated developments. Members are encouraged to get in touch if they wish to participate in any ASFP promotional content.

Events

The ASFP now offers a wide range of events for members and non-members alike. From networking opportunities to team building sessions and educational presentations, they can all be found here. Again, members who have logged in will benefit from discounts automatically and can register and change their bookings online. You can read more about ASFP events on pages 20-21.
