What VTS Fire does

VTS Fire, trading as VTSF Limited, is a UK private limited company founded in 2023 and headquartered at 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London. It operates as a fire safety services firm delivering accredited training, independent fire risk assessment (FRA) validation, and bespoke fire strategy consultancy.

The company's core technology asset is a bespoke three-tier FRA validation platform that systematically reviews fire risk assessments against legislative compliance (Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order 2005), methodology quality, and customer-centric clarity, and tracks assessor-level competency. The platform is paired with a self-serve Delegate Portal for course booking, certificate management, and training record handling, and integrates with Stripe for payments and Google OAuth for sign-in. All training is delivered by practising fire safety professionals and is recognised through FireQual approved training centre status and IFSM accredited training provider status.

The go-to-market is sales-led and event-driven, combining direct enquiry conversion, public course calendars, the IFSM distribution partnership, and bespoke in-house programmes for organisations. To date the company reports training over 500 delegates, validating over 1,500 fire risk assessments, and a 95% client satisfaction rate, with no disclosed revenue, headcount, or external funding.
