From collaborative discussions spanning the Middle East to North America, to ongoing professional development through the Institution of Fire Engineers (IFE), Maze Fire continues to demonstrate its commitment to innovation, quality, and people.

Connecting Ideas at the Council on Vertical Urbanism

Last week, Georgina Williams, PhD, and Karl Appleton attended the Council on Vertical Urbanism event in Toronto (formerly the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat). The event brought together architects, developers, engineers, and academics to exchange ideas on the evolving challenges of designing taller, more complex structures. Georgina and Karl participated in workshops such as 'Controlling the Cost of Ever Higher Construction', contributing to discussions about the importance of early-stage collaboration and innovation within multidisciplinary design.

Their participation reflects Maze Fire’s commitment to continuous learning and dialogue within the international design community, ensuring that fire safety considerations remain an integral part of project planning from the earliest stages.

Industry Engagement at Global Rail 2025

At Global Rail 2025, Gabriel Campbell and Wanausha Campbell represented Maze Fire Consulting, networking with industry peers and exploring advances in transportation safety. Their involvement emphasised the company’s growing engagement in rail infrastructure projects, a sector where fire resilience, evacuation strategy and material performance are increasingly critical to public safety and sustainable transport design.

Professional Development and the Institution of Fire Engineers

Continuing professional development remains central to Maze Fire’s culture. Recently, Beth Dean from Maze Fire Consulting delivered an Elevate Webinar for The Institution of Fire Engineers (IFE) titled “Interpreting Test Data.” The session provided an accessible and engaging exploration of how to draw accurate and meaningful conclusions from fire testing results — a topic crucial to maintaining technical integrity in design and construction.

Maze Fire Consulting is proud to see its team contributing to knowledge-sharing initiatives that support continual growth and a safer built environment.

Maze Fire Consulting was also proud to see Gabriel Campbell featured in the IFE’s Career Spotlight series, recognising his recent achievement of Chartered Engineer (CEng) status and his continuing contribution to the advancement of fire engineering practice. His profile reflects the dedication and professional growth encouraged across the Maze Fire team and highlights the company’s focus on excellence, mentorship and engagement with the wider fire safety community.
