my career path
I studied Building Surveying at university and have always had an interest in the built environment and the world of fire safety. Whilst working as a graduate surveyor, it was clear that fire protection was the area in which I excelled and I was lucky enough to gain a couple of years experience conducting fire door inspections and compartmentation surveys. I later began advising contractors and clients on the active and passive protection elements on new build sites. At the same time, I worked closely with members of the fire & rescue service on university campuses; one of which later started his own consultancy firm to coincide with his fire service retirement. Having worked together for years, he invited me to collaborate on a sizable contract he’d taken on for a large university. We joined forces and we continue to work on multiple higher education campuses today, providing fire risk assessments in addition to advice and guidance for their ongoing projects and developments.
why the name vesta?
Vesta, in Roman religion, was the goddess of the hearth and home. The lack of an easy source of fire in the early Roman community placed a special premium on the ever-burning hearth fire, both publicly and privately maintained; thus, from the earliest times Vesta was assured of a prominent place in both family and state worship. Additionally, Vesta is linked to bakers and the hearth fire, symbolizing warmth and nourishment. A close friend named my company for me on the basis of all Vesta represents; but don’t worry, I don’t have a goddess complex!
