It seems hard to believe that another year has passed and what a year it has been for us all. The challenges we have all faced from COVID-19 have made 2021 a year we will look back on with interest, however as we prepare to welcome 2022 we are already seeing the continued recovery with vaccinations across the world having a positive impact on the pandemic. Here’s to 2022 and the tentative steps towards a ‘return to normal’ and meeting with friends and colleagues again at trade shows around the world.

The readership of International Fire Protection continues to grow issue by issue, and the feedback we receive from both our readership and advertisers is amazing. Thank you all for your continued support and encouragement!

This latest issue boasts educational and informative articles from the industry’s best and most renowned authors.

We are delighted that the IFP Comment has been written by Chloe Vickery, Co Founder of the Women in FIre Safety Awards who shares her experiences in the fire safety industry and profiles the recipients of the recent Women in Fire Safety awards.

This nicely leads the way for a further nineteen feature articles, company, and product profiles, case studies and news from across the globe.

Check out Jacqueline Wilmot’s article titled ‘Hampering sprinkler effectiveness’, Aaron Johnson explores ‘Alternatives to foam for hangar fire protection’ and Dr Eliot Sizeland presents ‘An innovative flame detector solution for helidecks and aircraft hangars’.

Best wishes for a wonderful holiday season from the whole of the team here at MDM Publishing and we are looking forward to catching up with you at a trade show in 2022.

If you are going to Intersec in January, drop by Stand 3-H36 and say hello to the MDM Team, you’ll be guaranteed a warm welcome.

Happy reading and please continue to provide us with your comments and suggestions for new features.
