The ASFP is saddened to hear of the passing of the Fire Protection Association (FPA) Managing Director (MD), Jon O’Neill. 

Jon was and continues to be one of the original advocates of improving fire safety standards within design, construction, and occupation.

ASFP team and members 

Jon O’Neill was single-minded in creating an environment that endeavored to lower the frequency of major fire events and associated casualty numbers. He continued to lobby those in positions of power and influence with a view to shining a little on the inadequacies that existed in the sector right up until very recently; for that, know the construction industry and wider stakeholders are grateful.

The ASFP team and members wish to pass on their condolences to Jon’s family, the FPA team and members, and all those who knew Jon in the many spheres he occupied. Drive and dedication will be missed Jon.
