About the speakers

Kevin Hulin - OWS Fire Rated

I have worked within the passive fire protection industry for many years in a variety of roles, including Managing Director, as well as Technical, Sales and Marketing posts with an emphasis in fire resisting glazing and doors.

For seven years I was the Chairman of the Glass and glazing federation’s fire resisting glazing group, who produced a best practice guide to FR glazing which is referenced in approved document B.

I assisted the Guild of Architectural Ironmongers with their fire door Inspection scheme as the author of their module relating to fire resisting glazing and managed the scheme on their behalf for three years.

Over the past six years I have been engaged working within passive fire protection, on behalf of both a specialist fire protection contractor, and a flexible fire barrier manufacturer.

I am currently the Specification Manager with OWS Fire Rated, a designer, manufacturer and installer of fire resisting glazing systems.
