Over the past 25 years, he’s experienced a large spectrum of fire services design, installation, commissioning & maintenance around Australia and PNG. 

Matt’s approach to fire services design is to create simple, uncomplicated & compliant fire protection systems that sometimes requires a creative method as the project dictates, utilizing the resources and collaborating with Australian and international standards as well as insurers like FM Global.
