About Ben Bradford

I’m the proud founder of BB7. We create safe spaces where people, businesses and communities thrive. Our services include fire safety design, engineering, assurance and risk management consulting and we now offer a number of complementary specialist services such as facade consulting, assigned certifier, health and safety (PDSP), inclusive environment consulting and security engineering. We work throughout the building lifecycle and advise Architects, Developers and design teams in the design and construction process, but also building owners and operators as they manage risk in the built environment. I founded BB7 fifteen years ago, and we now have full national coverage throughout the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland, with Engineers based full time in European countries such as Cyprus, Poland, Spain, France and Portugal working on some fantastic projects worldwide. As we progress towards our 2030 vision, we remain a purpose led, practice based business. Technical engineering is the heart of what we do.If it is not too bold, I think I have the foresight and acumen to navigate this complex business landscape and drive sustainable growth. I wear my heart on my sleeve and speak my mind freely. I am both ambitious and driven but with a good heart and a sense of humour. For me it's not enough to simply practice Engineering or Risk Management, I aim to make a significant contribution to the development of these professions. I invest in people, and love seeing them flourish based on a firm belief that if we are to imagine a better answer our people allow us to arrive there. Our company promise is that we will always strive to build a better future, together.

  • Locke Carey Fire Safety Consultancy
    Director - Fire Safety Design, Engineering And Management.
    Locke Carey Fire Safety Consultancy Oct 2004 - Nov 2009
    My time at Locke Carey had a huge impact on my career. We went from a small business to a medium sized multinational business. I was fortunate to study and MBA, and experience an MBO, and two acquisition attempts. There were some really great people to learn from and the connections and international experience really stood me in good stead for the rise of BB7.
  • Waterman Group
    Fire Engineer (Career Transition)
    Waterman Group Jul 2004 - Oct 2004
    London, Gb
    Having worked in public sector Building Control for many years I wanted to gain experience in the private sector. Having studied fire safety design at Leeds University and Evacuation Modelling at FSEG University of Greenwich as part of my MSc in Building Engineering this enabled me to take a sideways move into Fire Engineering with Waterman Gore, a large multi-disciplinary engineering consultancy in Paris Gardens, London. I’d interviewed with Locke Carey and Waterman Group and only Waterman offered. I actually preferred the Locke Carey role because it was a lot closer to home and they had a strong credible office with about 25 people to learn from.
  • Medway - Building Control
    Chartered Building Control Surveyor
    Medway - Building Control Oct 2000 - Jul 2004
    Chatham, Gb
    Here I enforced the Building Regulations which included onsite inspections and plan review in oder to make approval decisions. Whilst at Medway I was studying an MSc in Building Engineering which included Ed Galea's Evacuation Modelling module at the FSEG. I also attended the Leeds module on Fire Safety Design.For two years prior to leaving I worked on Chatham Maritime projects, including the Dockside Shopping Centre which is a covered Mall.
  • Royal Borough Of Greenwich
    Building Control Surveyor
    Royal Borough Of Greenwich Oct 1998 - Oct 2000
    London, Gb
    Checking plans for compliance with the Building Regulations and inspecting works out on site. Being in Greenwich on the build up to the Millennium celebrations was a great time. It was a pleasure to work from Eltham, Blackheath to Greenwich High Street and around the Museum’s and University.
  • Gravesham Borough Council
    Assistant Building Surveyor
    Gravesham Borough Council Oct 1996 - Oct 1998
    Gravesend, England, Gb
    This role was a step up from Trainee to Assistant but more than that it was both a Building Control and general Building Surveying role. I learnt a lot and met some great people.
  • Swale Borough Council
    Trainee Building Control Surveyor
    Swale Borough Council Oct 1994 - Oct 1996
    Sittingbourne, Kent, Gb
    I made the transition from Carpenter and Joiner / Site Fixer on the tools 🛠️ to Trainee Building Control Surveyor. I’d gain NVQ 1,2&3 and started an ONC in Construction before getting a place on an undergraduate degree in Building Surveying. This time at Swale was hugely formative and beneficial. I worked with some inspiring people with serious achievements under their belts. I shadowed experienced Surveyors for two years and they invested their time in me. The whole office seemed to be fitness fanatics so at lunch times we ran with the fire service guys, we cycled, occasionally boxed and did judo. We had Wales weekenders to climb mountains and it was truely formative.
