The FIC no longer exists following the formation of the Fire Industry Association (“FIA”) on 1st April 2007.

The FIC had previously said that the above four trade associations (i.e. BAFSA, BFPSA, FETA and FIRESA) “collectively represent over 90% of the £1 billion UK Fire Protection Market. All recognise the benefit of being able to speak, strategically, with one voice on matters of common interest affecting the whole of the Industry” (taken from their profile on their then website).

Membership of the FIC

As mentioned, the FIC was a confederation of fire protection trade associations. Accordingly, only such associations could become members.
