We have today announced Richard Fogelman as our new Chief Executive effective Wednesday 1st March 2023, as Richard Jenkins stands down having led the organisation for nine years. There will be a handover period of 2 months until Richard Jenkins leaves the Inspectorate at the end of April 2023. Richard Fogelman has more than 15 years’ management experience, including almost a decade as CEO of a leading UK charity. He has a law degree and experience in London’s financial markets, having worked at numerous banks and financial firms, before embarking in the commercial world of property operations and management. Most recently, he was CEO of Grief Encounter, a national charity supporting bereaved young people. During his time there, he restructured the business, established a national helpline serving over 10,000 callers annually and has driven revenue growth from £480k in 2013 to £3.01m in 2021. We are delighted to welcome Richard Fogelman, confident his wealth of experience will ensure he is well placed to maintain and further leverage NSI’s mission, vision and expertise, as it continues to support stakeholders and the professional security and fire safety sectors in raising standards that serve the interests of protecting people, property and wider public safety.
