About the event

Our guest speaker this week is Chief Fire Officer for Avon Fire & Rescue Service, Simon Shilton.

Having been part of the fire and rescue service for over 30 years, during his time, Simon has held the positions of Station

Manager, responsible for Urban Search and Rescue, Incident Command Trainer and Training Manager.

Joining and spending the first 15 years of his career at Avon Fire & Rescue Service, he was located as an operational

firefighter at Avonmouth, Bath, Temple and Southmead Fire Stations.

In 2008, Simon worked for West Midlands Fire and Rescue Service for nine years, leaving as an Area Commander, before re-

joining AF&RS in January 2017 as Assistant Chief Fire Officer for Service Delivery Support. During this time, he has also held

the temporary position of ACFO for Service Delivery.

In April 2022 Simon became the Chief Fire Officer/Chief Executive and launched his first Service Plan as leader of the

Service. The plan highlighted measures which strive to deliver a high-quality, effective and efficient, value for money fire

and rescue service. Simon has always been a strong voice and advocate for all areas of Diversity, Inclusion, Cohesion and

Equality.

Simon enjoys fishing, is a keen bee keeper, and likes whenever possible to travel to different places in his campervan.

Join us to gain an insight into the incredible work the Fire and Rescue service does in this Q&A with Simon at 11am.

Our usual walk and a talk with fellow members and a complimentary cuppa is at 10am.
