Principal fire officers vote to become branch in Prospect

Members of APFO, the Association of Principal Fire Officers, have voted overwhelmingly to join Prospect, the union for professionals, managers and specialists across the public and private sectors.

The ballot saw 89% of those who took part vote in favour of the proposal. APFO represents brigade managers, area managers and equivalent.

Prospect general secretary Mike Clancy said: “This is very welcome news – APFO will strengthen Prospect’s diverse membership in hazardous and security-critical areas, which includes fire managers at airports and in London Fire Brigade.”

Justin Johnston, APFO chair, added: “Becoming a branch within Prospect secures APFO’s future and will allow us to retain our identity, while giving us a bigger voice as well as the platform to help grow membership.

“Members can also look forward to the support of Prospect’s dedicated specialist staff including pensions officers, a legal team, and experienced negotiators.”
