'How to chose a fire risk assessor' :)

Was the topic your own choice to speak about, or was it assigned to you?

A small proportion - it's paid as some compensation for pushing me out eight years early.....

But I am surprised to learn that the speakers are not receiving something for their efforts other than presumeably a free lunch?
