All at About Peverel, express their deepest sympathy for all those that have suffered so much as a consequence of the terrible fire that tore through their block in the early hours today. At this point the number of fatalities is unknown. At any time and for any reason a fire can break out.
When this does happen residents have to depend on a managing agent freeholder maintaining fire safety systems in a proper manner to enable them to survive.
In this case compelling evidence has been produced that arnings were given to both the managing agent and freeholder that a catastrophic fire was likely given poor safety practices being carried out.
Recently Peverel/Firstport were fined 360,000 pounds plus 100,000 pounds costs after pleading guilty to several breaches of Health & Safety legislation that led to the death of Irene Cockerton in a fire at Gibson Court, Esher. Not that you would no it though from their website, or from their celebrations at the EAC awards, where those responsible for the death of Irene Cockerton and whose company had just been so heavily fined were wined and dined and had a very enjoyable evening by all accounts.
