swi ly closed and teaching switched to virtual
provision. Sebastian Gray, incoming Chair of
the Rumford club explains how members from
the built environment and engineering services
sector can meet and debate. With the current
prevalence of working from home, a cybersecurity
expert explains why FMs can play a critical role in

aware of changes to fire safety regulations.
