Bio
Jane Gachuche
It’s been a tremendous pleasure to work with Kieran over the past 4 years. He is an exceptional engineer and uses his extensive knowledge and experience to not only deliver innovative and quality solutions for every project, but also to cultivate the technical skills of those working with him. His passion and dedication to fire engineering is most evident to me in the countless hours he has spent mentoring myself and others in his team. As a manager, Kieran shows a genuine interest in the development of every member of his staff – no one falls under his radar – which is an invaluable leadership quality. His positive attitude, enthusiasm and technical excellence has left a lasting impression on me and undoubtedly all who have worked with him.

Kieran represents and conveys the highest degree of integrity, has an exceptional blend of being both technically strong and possesses the rare trait of an effective and highly likeable leader through his calm approach and great demeanour towards the people around him. The dedication to his profession and position as a Fire Engineer is quite literally flawless. He has excellent communicating skills, always attending immediately to, and never shying away from difficult situations. Kieran is focused and reflects experience through his professional manner and acumen to continually deliver quality and safe designs. Kieran was and still is, a key asset of any company to ensuring codes, standards, regulations and engineering/industry best practices/approaches are diligently executed. I do hope our paths cross once again in the near future my good man.
