Harmony Fire has further strengthened its consultancy business with the appointment of Andrew Causton as Technical Director.
The fire safety professional, with 18 years’ experience, 10 of these in high-hazard industries, joins the growing full-service life safety specialist, which in June 2025 launched its new technology-led Auro brand, and recently unveiled ‘Life Guard’, an open-source framework for housing leaders to transform organisational risk culture and assurance.
Causton brings extensive life safety knowledge and experience to Harmony Fire, working in senior operational roles for the emergency services and private contractors, as well as most recently as an independent fire engineering consultant. Combining his high-hazard industrial expertise, with extensive built environment experience, he has played a key role in design teams operating across multiple related sectors, including in healthcare, education, commercial and residential.
Causton said of his appointment: “Everyone with a passion for fire safety engineering is driven to make the world a safer place, and by closely following Harmony Fire’s journey, I recognise an organisation pushing the boundaries and developing new and innovative approaches to mitigate life safety risk. A key attractor in joining the business is the incredible network of expert collaborators that partner with Harmony Fire to help develop new solutions to life critical challenges, it’s inspiring and exciting to now be part of this important mission.”
Graham Oliphant, Managing Director of Harmony Fire’s consultancy business added: “As we see continued blurring of the lines between life safety and smart asset management strategies, organisations are increasingly seeking out expertise to provide a holistic whole-life asset perspective, rather than short term quick fixes.
“The addition of Andrew to our fast-growing team brings a breadth and depth of technical excellence and experience that further elevates our capabilities and the expert support we provide to our customers. Attracting the best talent drives our business forward and I’m delighted to be working alongside Andrew as demand scales up across Harmony Fire’s comprehensive consult, build and maintain life safety offer.”
