About us

Olsson Fire & Risk was founded by Per Olsson and Carl Voss, and has been growing throughout Australia and New Zealand since 2011, with expansion into the UK under the stewardship of directors Simon Lay and Sam Liptrott. As a result of the four directors’ interwoven working history with large global engineering organisations, mutual respect and trust are intrinsic to this independent, specialist fire engineering practice and give it a rock-solid foundation.

COLLABORATION ACROSS CONTINENTS

Drawing on a wide array of global talent, we have built experienced teams across London, Manchester, Edinburgh and Glasgow, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, Sydney, Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington, and we’re still growing. Our cross-continent collaboration model allows our staff to share technical expertise and exploit the time difference so that work drafted in one place can be peer-reviewed overnight in another.

As such, Olsson Fire & Risk operates under a set of quality management procedures aligned to ISO9001 and has in place Health & Safety, sustainability, ethical and equality policies that match the expectations of our clients.
