Client Testimonials

Dear Phillip

Happy New Year to you!

From all the staff at PFB we would like to thank you for the fire training you undertook with our company just before Christmas.

We all agreed that the presentation/fire training was professional and informative, and we all enjoyed the training you provided.

We will fully recommend other companies using your services.

I just wanted to say thank you for the recent training sessions and Fire Risk Assessments you have completed for us.

The 30 staff who received training all thoroughly enjoyed the session finding them useful, informative and enjoyed the hands on experience with the extinguishers. You made the sessions interesting and fun, everyone learnt something. The Fire Risk Assessment reports recently produced are thorough and informative. The advice and guidance given is constructive and realistic.

It assures me as a Premises Manager that the sites that are under my responsibility have been assessed so thoroughly.

All the Park & Ride and Norwich Bus Station staff attended the Fire Awareness course and some completed the Fire Warden course.

Feedback from all has been extremely positive - "I have never attended such a worthwhile course before. I now appreciate how dangerous fire can be."

From a management perspective, the course was well organised and the course content was very thorough.

This type of training is invaluable to all sizes of organisation. It has definitely achieved value for money.

I would like to thank all at Anglia Fire Assessments for their continued support over the past two years.

During this time we have with their help managed to raise the fire awareness throughout the estate, complied with the Regulatory Reform Order 2005 and passed a Fire Safety Audit.

I have found the Risk Assessments provided by Anglia Fire Assessments for all the departments within the estate to be concise and easy to follow, giving clear guidance on the actions to be taken. Philip’s manner when delivering both Fire Warden and Fire Awareness courses is both informative and professional, our greatest endorsement is that we will be inviting Phillip and his team back to provide annual refresher training for key employees.

Taverham High School is in the middle of a major PFI refurbishment and building project. We needed an intermediate fire risk assessment to help us through the chaos of our school building site and we will need a final assessment next year once the buildings are completed.

Anglia Fire Assessments provided us with a very competitive, fast and efficient service; one which was friendly, but thorough. The completed document was well presented and easy to understand.

It provided us with clear recommendations. We had the added benefit of Phillip going through the report with us for an afternoon I can recommend Anglia Fire Assessments to you without any hesitation. They will certainly be doing our final assessment and they are providing us with some staff training next term.

We have been using Anglia Fire Assessments for the last 7 years and over this period Phillip has covered all our training requirements for Fire Warden (including refresher), Confined Space and Breathing Apparatus, because of his capacity/ role within the fire service he has extensive knowledge in these subject areas in which he is able use very good examples to bring into and enhance his training material.

On a personal level I have always known Phil to be extremely professional at all times and this also comes across from all his students after attending one of his courses the feedback is always positive. I have no hesitation in recommending his services.

Phillip Leeder of Anglia Fire Assessments has carried out fire risk assessments and fire warden training at our premises and his comprehensive knowledge and advice has been extremely helpful to our firm.

As an Alms-house Charity we contacted Anglia Fire Assessments to carry out a fire inspection of our alms houses and communal facilities.

As a charity it was important to us that we received value for money and a report that was understandable and not full of jargon which we may not understand. Anglia Fire Assessments provided us with a clear quotation of costs involved during our first telephone enquiry which helped put our minds at rest.

Having waited only ten days for a visit from Mr. Leeder we received a full inspection of our facilities taking some three hours or more. Mr. Leeder and his associate were very helpful towards the problems we face and pleasant in conversation with our staff and residents, putting their minds at rest.

Five days later we received a bound report which, I am happy to say, was easily understandable with clear recommendations. It was a very comprehensive report covering all aspects of fire safety as it related to our circumstances.

We were also very happy with the invoice accompanying the report as this was exactly in line with the quotation given originally.

As a result of the report it was necessary for us to purchase some firefighting and safety equipment and we found Anglia Fire Assessments very helpful in this regard also.

Having contacted three firms regarding the supply of this equipment they quoted the lowest price and the equipment arrived the day after placing the order. We have no hesitation in recommending the services of Anglia Fire Assessments.

Anglia Fire Assessments were introduced six years ago through personal recommendation. After our first meeting it was clear that Phillip possessed both the experience and passion to provide a first class service. Anglia Fire Assessments now conduct annual FRA reviews for our entire business portfolio, including two large holiday parks, two park home estates, three restaurants and an office complex.

In addition Phillip has proved himself a very capable trainer and delivers all of our Fire Awareness and Fire Warden courses.

I would have no hesitation to recommend Phillip Leeder and Anglia Fire Assessments to companies looking to not only meet legislation but to exceed it.

Phillip was extremely professional, smart and courteous at all times and communicated well with all grades of staff during his presentations. He appeared to have a high level of credibility as a serving fire officer and was clearly an expert in his field. He used excellent real life examples to illustrate his teaching, and covered all the key principles of fire safety within the one hour presentation.

He is highly proficient with the use of presentation materials/technology.

The feedback (written and verbal) I received included comments to the effect that his presentation was the best fire safety presentation they had experienced in years!

At a personal level it was a pleasure to work with someone as friendly, amenable, efficient and good at timekeeping as Phillip

Dear Phillip

Please find attached a list of the people who attended the Fire Extinguisher course yesterday.

Thank you for providing this and the excellent presentation to our team of stewards. It was so well put together and presented.

We have already had some great feedback from people on the course and from our stewards about the presentation.

Thanks again for helping have a such a successful training evening.

The British Antarctic Survey works in one of the remotest regions on our planet. In Antarctica fire safety takes on a whole different meaning, ultimately it could mean the loss of the place which keeps you alive!

BAS needed a trainer and fire expert to help with the vital fire safety training of our staff before they departed for Antarctica.

Phillip Leeder of Anglia Fire Assessments has provided this training for BAS for a number of years and we continue to choose him because of his extensive experience, knowledge and dynamic training skills.

Anglia Fire Assessments, Fire Extinguisher Training

West Suffolk College in Bury St Edmunds has used Phillip Leeder of Anglia Fire Assessments for the last 2 years. The sessions are comprehensive giving delegates a thorough understanding of fire and it associated dangers, before having the opportunity to practice extinguishing real (controlled fires).

Phillip has many years’ experience as a fire officer. He delivers in such a way that very importantly conveys the message whilst at the same time, maintaining a degree of humour. His theory sessions are very interesting but obviously the opportunity for delegates to roll their sleeves up and have a go is greatly welcomed. All of our training sessions are evaluated and Phil’s always come out with a 100% satisfaction, with very positive feedback.

“That was fantastic”
“Best training session I have done in ages”
“Phil knows his stuff”
“I loved getting to use the extinguishers”

Dear Phillip,

This is to say a huge thank you, on behalf of all church members, for all that you did to make Tuesday afternoon's fire briefing so interesting and instructive. I am sure that we will now feel much more confident if such an awful thing occurred. You spoke so clearly about everything, and took so much trouble with us when we practiced with the various types of fire extinguisher.

Thank you so much.

We have used Anglia Fire Assessments a number of times, for both training and fire assessments. Phillip delivers the training course in an entertaining and engaging manner, this in itself is no mean feat!

All fire marshals and deputy fire marshals have received comprehensive, hands on training, which is invaluable. I look forward to working alongside Anglia Fire Assessments and Phillip in the future as I know we will receive a knowledgeable, professional and friendly service.

Phillip has always been very professional and knowledgeable in this field. He has taken the time to ensure that our disabled colleagues can understand and relate to the information provided.

The practical exercises with the fire extinguishers are always enjoyable, but more importantly, provide real experience and alleviate the uncertainty of using them in an emergency.

The course is interesting and engaging and we would always recommend Phillip to anyone looking for Fire Marshal training.

Hello Phillip,

Everyone who attended the course had nothing but praise for the presentation, the practical and the way you presented it. Shaun and I were particularly impressed with the way you tailored your presentation to our specific requirements, it was all very relevant to the workplace we have here. This was recognised by all and it made it an interesting and enjoyable exercise which in my experience, many courses spectacularly fail to deliver.

I congratulate you on this and thank you.

Hello Phillip,

Please find a short testimonial that I received from some of the staff.

'We just wanted to say that this was the best fire training that we have attended and that was down to the trainer that we had.

He was brilliant and really interactive with everyone. Really informative and enjoyable training'.
