Paul Sharp moves to Scottish Executive
The Scottish Executive has recently appointed Paul Sharp, formerly with Strathclyde Fire and Rescue, to work on the national Firelink project in the Scottish Region.
The two-year secondment means that Sharp will work with the eight regional fire services (RFS) across Scotland during the delivery phase of Firelink. His knowledge and expertise will undoubtedly ensure a smooth transition for the fire service communication overhaul.
Commenting on his appointment, Sharp told BAPCO Journal, “This is an interesting and challenging time for the fire service across Scotland, and one that I am delighted to be involved in.” Unfortunately for BAPCO, the appointment will mean the loss of one of its more tenacious members. Sharp added, “Reluctantly I have had to resign as chair of the Scottish region due to the pressure of work. However, our region is extremely proactive and I’m know Colin Dalzial, the new chair, will be as committed and hardworking in continuing to help grow this vibrant region for the association.”
“I have enjoyed my period in office for BAPCO and being part of such a worthwhile association and would like to take this opportunity to thank all the members in the region and on the BAPCO Executive that have supported me during the last five years. I am keen to continue to participate at events through my continued membership,” he concluded.
