About Danny

A focus on life safety.

Danny started his career in the asset management team at Metropolitan Housing, managing fire risk assessment data and the remedial works that followed. He has been carrying out fire risk assessments himself since 2018.

Since then he has assessed high-rise and purpose-built blocks, sheltered and supported housing, HMOs, schools, colleges, universities, NHS premises, museums, council buildings and commercial sites. In senior roles at national consultancies he led teams of assessors and managed the validation of their work against BAFE SP205-1.

He founded Obelisk Fire Safety to give landlords, housing providers, care operators and managing agents direct access to that experience. Reports are written in plain English, with a prioritised, time-bound action plan you can actually work through.
