Yes after much controversy and hoo hah following my fire risk assessment report in which I dared to question the quality of the alarm system I was summoned by the client to a council of war at the site. I was met by a gang of about 12 interested, mostly hostile folk. I explained my concerns and these were dismissed by the installers so I asked them to give a demonstration to show how well the alarm performed. We set off a call point at the main entrance to the shop and I took the client down into the basement. It was at least 40 seconds before any sounders operated in the basement. The client went spare, told the installers to take it out and to put in a proper alarm system. He apologised for dragging me down, paid my expenses and asked me to carry out fire risk assessments throughout the rest of his chain of shops. So all ended well in the end.
