Campaigning cable manufacturer Tratos joined members of the All-Party Parliamentary Fire Safety and Rescue Group this month.
Tratos, represented by non-executive director Simon Blagden CBE, was invited on the back of its Safer Structures Campaign. The campaign, an initiative from Tratos CEO, Dr Maurizio Bragagni MBA, was set up in the wake of the Grenfell Tower disaster. Its aim is to push stakeholder industries to look holistically at buildings’ infrastructure in order to ensure no stone is unturned to keep housing, offices and public buildings fire safe.
