14 August 2024

1st Aid Fire Limited proudly announces that their CEO, Darren Young, a former RAF firefighter trained at Manston in Kent, has been awarded the Most Influential CEO in Fire Safety by CEO Monthly magazine.

This prestigious recognition comes 34 years after Mr. Young began his fire safety career in the Royal Air Force, making it particularly poignant that he should receive such an honour in the same county where his journey began.

With 16 years of service as a fireman in the Royal Air Force to his name, Mr. Young has amassed a wealth of experience in fire safety. Since establishing 1st Aid Fire Limited in 2006 and dedicating himself fully to the venture in 2014, he has been at the forefront of providing specialist fire safety training and services.

His main focus is the protection of tenants within housing associations, as well as safeguarding the numerous accommodations for rent across Kent and London. Drawing from his extensive background and global experience gained from his RAF position, Mr. Young brings a unique international perspective to the local area, applying best practices learned from around the world.

The irony of accepting this award in Kent, where he was originally schooled as a fireman, is not lost on him and carries a special significance. Upon receiving the accolade, Darren Young stated, "I am truly honoured to receive the title of Most Influential CEO in Fire Safety from CEO Monthly here in Kent.

This county has been the starting point of my fire-fighting endeavours, and to come full circle with this award so many years later fills me with pride. It reinforces my commitment to ensuring the safety of those living in housing associations and rented accommodations. Our mission at 1st Aid Fire Limited has always been to mitigate fire risks and secure safe living environments for all our clients." The accolade is a testament to Mr. Young's steadfast dedication to fire safety and his unwavering commitment to making a difference in the community. It also reinforces the vision of 1st Aid Fire Limited as a company deeply rooted in personal experience and professional excellence.
