NOTTINGHAM — Global HSE Group, a leader in fire safety, consultancy, and training, has successfully achieved UKCA certification for its FD30s PAS 24 Composite Fire Doors range, which is manufactured to the highest fire safety standards in its Nottingham headquarters. It has confirmed full compliance with UK legislation and performance standards.
This new UKCA marking, which replaced the CE mark in Great Britain on 1 January 2021, is a mandatory standard for external fire doorsets. Certification for the Ceasefire Door demonstrates it has undergone and passed rigorous independent testing at UKAS-accredited laboratories.
Achieving this certification demanded robust product design, meticulous engineering, and transparent documentation. The Ceasefire Door was developed with a primary focus on:
Fire Resistance: Providing the required protection time during an emergency.
Smoke Control: Preventing toxic smoke from spreading between compartments.
Energy Efficiency: Built-in insulation to optimise thermal performance and sustainability.
Additionally, the Ceasefire Doors have recently renewed the BM TRADA Q-Mark certification and have been certified to the PAS 24 security standard, reinforcing their resistance to forced entry techniques and providing enhanced protection against unauthorised access. This dual certification for both fire safety and security offers a comprehensive solution for a wide range of applications.
Ross Baggaley, Production Manager at Global HSE Group, said, “Implementing the UKCA process for the Ceasefire Door has been a rewarding challenge. It required careful coordination between design, testing, and production, but the outcome is a product that we know meets the very highest fire safety standards.”
Andrew Cooper, Managing Director of Global HSE Group, added, “The UKCA certification of our Ceasefire Door is not just a technical achievement, it’s a reflection of Global HSE Group’s commitment to safety, quality, and customer trust. I want to personally thank Ross and the entire team for their dedication to achieving this certification.”
The Ceasefire Door is now positioned as a fully compliant, market-leading solution, offering clients unrivalled assurance in both performance and safety. Every door comes with a Declaration of Performance (DoP) using NFC tracking, providing complete transparency on its specifications and compliance along the Golden Thread.

Bingham, Nottinghamshire, Global HSE Group, fire safety experts, announces that it supported the Hebron Housing “Hebron2Hebron” charity journey. A journey consisting of no food, money or transport of their own, travelling from Norwich to Northumberland in a 300-mile round trip. An inspiring initiative that raised £4,400 to aid survivors of abuse, addiction, and mental health challenges.
The impactful journey commenced following a recent Housing event in Manchester, where Emma Pawsey met with representatives from Global HSE Group. Following on from the conversation, the company provided support to the Hebron2Hebron initiative, with Steve Wilson (and his dog), a member of the Global HSE team, transporting Emma and Clare from Scarborough to Hartlepool. Upon arrival, Global HSE Group reached out to the local community to help secure meal donations for the journey participants. This assistance allowed the pair to focus entirely on their mission of raising vital funds.
Emma Pawsey, Chief Executive Officer of Hebron Housing, expressed her gratitude, stating, “Hebron2Hebron journey raised an incredible £4,400! This achievement would not have been possible without the kindness and support of the amazing individuals met along the way, especially Steve Wilson from Global HSE. His willingness to drive during a crucial part of the journey allowed us to concentrate on our fundraising goals. Encounters like this remind us of the strength of compassion and community spirit in our world.”
Steve Wilson of Global HSE Group commented on the experience, stating, “Meeting Emma and Clare and being part of this journey has been incredibly rewarding, learning first-hand about the vital work they do. I’m glad I could support them on their journey. It’s not just about the money raised, but the connections built and seeing the communities coming together to help those in need. “

At the Global HSE Group, we believe it is essential for work experience students to gain knowledge within the fire safety industry, so that the next generation can explore the various career paths available. Last week at our Bingham Head Office, we were joined by Olivia Brears as part of her Year 12 work experience.
Here’s what Olivia shared about her reflections on her work experience:
‘During my week at Global, I closely followed and developed an understanding of various departments to see how they interact and align, which has enabled me to grasp how a business works together to provide their service.
Monday – I started my week with Chris and Zak in health and safety, which gave me a new perspective on its importance throughout projects and within the business itself. I was able to understand the process of the BSR (Building Safety Regulator) and the importance of the legislation behind it, as well as the necessity of accreditation and audits for onsite work to be carried out safely. Additionally, I had the opportunity to attend my first meeting, which was delivered by Chris as a safety briefing to new employees. For the remainder of the day, I did my research and attempted to answer a NEBOSH NCG practice paper to gain a better understanding of the basics of health and safety on a construction site.
Tuesday – Was spent with Helen and Mollie in procurement. I discovered what their day-to-day work involves with an emphasis on ensuring traceability of all the stock they order and purchase, including having a reliable list of sources that have been approved to provide stability and to check due diligence. It is also their job to source subcontractors and ensure that they are reliable through PPGs (pre-qualification questionnaire), as well as creating purchase orders for labourers to carry out their work. I spent some time shadowing and understanding the administrative process behind this work, in addition to having a tour of the warehouse and the Global Academy training area. I was able to see first-hand what goes into the production behind fire stopping and passive fire resistance so that containment is achieved through devices such as fire collars and ablative batt. This has sparked a genuine interest for me in the technical side behind it all and something that I may wish to explore in the future.
Wednesday – I moved onto contract support, and although I was left to do a lot (I mean, a lot) of laminating signs that will be used on sight in projects, I was able to gain a complete understanding of what the role of their department entails which includes keeping track of current reports, admin, organisation, evidencing of everything and building reports. I also helped create PMS folders for future projects and was invited to attend their monthly update meeting.
Thursday – Was spent with the Sales Administrator, Eloise. I assisted her in responding to emails and generating quotes for future projects by collecting contact details. Part of her role involves prospecting, which I discovered was actively looking for future potential projects. Another aspect of her job involves a branch of Global HSE, which is the Global Academy, and her job is to correspond and set up these fire-stopping courses. Social values is another important part of the essential frameworks at Global, such as an internal company newspaper, supporting the local community and many other aspects. In the afternoon I spent some time understanding the process of estimating and what the role consists of within the company.
Friday – My final day at Global HSE was spent with Global Technical Services (GTS), a sector of Global which is involved in fire engineering consultancy. The day started with sitting in a meeting with the Operations Manager Jobie and the Project Manager for works about an update for future proposals for a variety of projects that Global will aid with, along with the input from the fire engineers about what adjustments need to be made for the site to align with fire regulations. Following the meeting, Jobie introduced me to his job role and explained what it entailed, including liaising with clients, creating quotes, providing fee proposals and much more. I then sat in on a meeting with Keith, one of the Fire Engineers, and Henry, the Marketing Team Leader.
The purpose was to provide Henry with information on what a technical note entails, so that he can effectively communicate it to potential clients, highlighting the importance of collaboration between different departments and the key central role of marketing in a business. Keith then went on to explain how he puts together a FRAEW report, taking me through the process of constructing one by collecting evidence and evaluating it. Finally, we went to see the training rooms for the Global Academy, where I got to see some more of the varied materials involved in fire stopping, such as an intumescent cavity barrier.
To sum it all up, over the week, I have gained an understanding of the depth that goes into fire safety and preventive measures through compartmentation and passive fire stopping, including remediation, mitigation, and various technologies such as fire collars, intumescent cavity barriers, and ablative batts. This week has benefited me immensely, not just by understanding how a business works and interconnects, but also through speaking to all the employees here and discovering the different pathways that led them to Global through everyone’s varied experiences.
I discussed my future interests in further education, and the ways this can lead to a job, with Global employees who did similar degrees or education pathways to the kind of areas of work I’m interested in, and also the variety of different skillsets that are gained which are beneficial in many areas of work and job roles. This reassured me of the various routes available to work, even if I change my mind later on, and helped me narrow down my options for further studies, providing a basis for what to research and occupations to explore when considering the degree I wish to pursue.
Beyond the Classroom: Real-World Learning That Shapes Futures
Olivia had the opportunity to experience several different aspects of fire safety at the Global HSE Group. Getting involved with exploring health and safety, procurement, contract support, sales, and technical services gave her a glimpse of how the business operates. By delving into the details of the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) and understanding the need for accreditation to observe the production of fire-stopping materials, Olivia gained hands-on experience with relatable real-life examples.
Talking with Global employees, who openly shared their career paths, showed her just how many different professional routes are possible. Offering work experience opportunities where students like Olivia can learn, acquire practical skills, gain industry knowledge, and develop a deeper understanding of the vital role fire safety plays in people’s lives. By continuing to provide such experiences, we are not only building careers but also building a safer future for everyone.

A fire door is a specialised door designed to slow the spread of fire and smoke within a building, giving occupants valuable time to evacuate and allowing firefighters to respond. They are made from fire-resistant materials and equipped with features such as intumescent strips and door closers to improve their fire-stopping performance.
Fire doors are critical safety components, and their performance must be proven through rigorous, standardised testing, to ensure they meet stringent life safety, regulatory, and performance standards. BM TRADA is a UK-based provider of independent certification, testing, inspection, and training services, and the BM TRADA Q-Mark scheme is widely recognised as a robust and respected third party certification programme for fire doors.
Global’s Ceasefire Composite Fire Door is a BM TRADA-certified fire door, and to maintain the BM Trada certification, our doors must be re-tested every 3 years. This certification ensures the door meets specific standards for fire and smoke resistance, typically for 30 minutes and is recognised by fire and rescue authorities and building control bodies.
The Benchmark: BM TRADA Q-Mark Certification
The BM TRADA Q-Mark scheme is recognised across the industry as a robust and respected third party certification programme for fire doors. It provides independent validation to assure specifiers, installers, and end-users that a product consistently meets and surpasses relevant performance criteria.
Our Ceasefire Doors have not only achieved this certification, but they have also demonstrated enduring integrity through continuous reassessment.
The BM TRADA Q-Mark necessitates an ongoing commitment to quality and performance. This includes periodic re-testing to ensure that initial high standards are maintained.
Verifiable Performance: 39 Minutes and 40 Seconds of Integrity
At Global HSE Group, we’re proud to highlight the exceptional performance and rigorous certifications of our Ceasefire El30 PAS 24 FD30S Composite Fire Doors Range. The accurate measure of a fire door lies in its ability to maintain integrity under fire conditions. During its latest BM TRADA burn test, our Ceasefire door, rated as a 30-minute fire door (FD30), exhibited remarkable resilience.
It withstood the test conditions for an impressive 39 minutes and 40 seconds, significantly surpassing the minimum 30-minute requirement, providing an additional 9 minutes and 40 seconds of critical containment. In a real-world fire incident, these extra minutes can be crucial for occupant evacuation and the deployment of emergency services.
Jonathan Harwood, Director of Commercial and Operations at Global HSE Group, said:
“Securing and maintaining BM TRADA Q-Mark certification is incredibly important to us, as it gives our customers independent reassurance that our products are consistently manufactured to the highest quality. Our recent burn test, holding for an additional 32% beyond the mandated 30 minutes, truly highlights this dedication.”
With over 70 burn tests conducted to date, these tests evaluate the doors’ ability to withstand fire and smoke for extended periods, ensuring they meet or exceed the requirements of an FD30. This extensive testing demonstrates our commitment to providing fire doors that offer superior protection and peace of mind.
Ongoing Assurance: Latest BM TRADA Audit Pass
Maintaining BM TRADA Q-Mark certification isn’t solely about successful re-tests; it also involves comprehensive audits of our manufacturing processes and quality control systems. Global recently underwent and successfully passed its latest BM TRADA audit at our manufacturing warehouse in Bingham, Nottinghamshire. This ongoing scrutiny ensures that every door leaving our manufacturing facility adheres to the highest standards of production and quality assurance, promoting full traceability from project conception to completion through digital data capture at key phases, enabling complete asset management under the BM Trada Q Mark 170 Scheme.
Enhanced Security: PAS 24 Certification
Beyond its primary fire performance, our Ceasefire door also recently renewed the rigorous PAS 24 security standard. This certification demonstrates the door’s resistance to common forced entry techniques, offering enhanced protection against unauthorised access. This dual accreditation for both fire safety and security provides a comprehensive solution for a wide range of applications.
Tested, Certified, Compliant and Trusted.
Achieving PAS 24 Certification and holding BM Trade Q-Mark certification reassures our clients that the doors we install are tested to the highest standards.
Global HSE Group was appointed by South Kesteven District Council to carry out comprehensive fire door inspections and remedial works across many properties. The works formed part of the council’s wider fire safety improvement strategy.
The project scope included:
Fire door inspections to assess compliance and condition
Remedial works to ensure doors met current fire safety regulations
Installation of replacement doorsets where required
Reporting to keep the council informed throughout
The consistent, independently verified performance of our Ceasefire composite fire doors underscores Global’s unwavering commitment to safety and compliance. From its exceptional fire resistance to its robust security features and ongoing third-party certification, the Ceasefire door provides a reliable and high-performing solution for your passive fire protection needs.
Global can survey, supply, and install El30 PAS 24 FD30S composite fire doors, which offer 30 minutes fire resistance (to BS 476 Part 22 and BS EN 1634-1:2014+A1:2018), a 25-year design life, and resistance to the passage of smoke according to EN 1634-3:2004.
