Back in March, a chap called Vance Miller, who conducted a fire risk assessment of a building which subsequently suffered a fatal fire in 2008, pleaded guilty to one offence under the FSO. He was fined ?2,000 with ?5,000 costs.
Does anyone know what the offence was, what Mr Millers background or qualifications were, or where I can find the details?

Most searches for Vance Miller come up with the infamous 'Kitchen Gangster' who is in bigger trouble with the law for other matters.....
The LFB site gives more detail in that it actually details the actual charges, Miller pled guilty to to failing to make a suitable and sufficient assessment of risk.
This Vance Miller may well be the same one of Vance Miller Associates/Vance Miller Health & Safety Limited based in Peterborough, whose background is as a Quantity Surveyor and CDM related services. No fire safety related qualifications or experience are listed on their profile.
