Livingcity CCIM Ltd Appoints Karl Stott as Building Safety Consultant
Livingcity CCIM Ltd is delighted to announce the appointment of Karl Stott as its new Building Safety Consultant, bringing with him more than 35 years of distinguished service with Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS), and more recently as a vital member of the Greater Manchester’s High-Rise Task Force working closely with key governmental figures.
Karl’s extensive career has spanned both operational and regulatory roles, giving him a unique perspective on the evolving challenges of building safety. After decades of frontline service with GMFRS, he transitioned into the Protection Department as an Inspecting Officer, where he worked on behalf of the Enforcing Authority as a Regulator. He was part of the Higher Risk Team, auditing complex high-rise residential buildings to ensure compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and, more recently, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations.
Most recently, Karl was seconded to the Building Safety Regulator (BSR), an independent body within the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), which oversees higher-risk buildings across the UK. In this role, he audited Safety Case Review submissions to confirm Accountable Persons (APs) were actively identifying, assessing, and managing fire and structural risks.
Speaking on his new appointment, Karl said:
"I am delighted to be joining the CCIM team and look forward to the new challenges ahead following my recent retirement from Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service, where I proudly served the communities of Manchester for over 35 years. Throughout my career, I have witnessed the significant investment in Manchester’s built environment, the evolution of its skyline, and the growth of city living culture. I am now excited to bring this experience into my new role, supporting CCIM’s mission to enhance compliance, safety, and quality within the built environment."
With Karl’s expertise and regulatory background, Livingcity CCIM Ltd continues to strengthen its commitment to ensuring the highest standards of safety and compliance across the built environment.
Daniel Bright, Director of Livingcity CCIM Ltd adds:
“We are delighted to welcome Karl to the business. His wealth of knowledge and experience in both operational and regulatory fire safety will be invaluable as we continue to strengthen our service offering and provide confidence to our current, and future, clients. At CCIM, our priority is to support clients in achieving the very highest standards of fire, health and safety compliance. Karl’s appointment reinforces our commitment to protecting residents, enhancing building safety and ensuring robust compliance across the built environment”
