Alan took over as Managing Director in 2006 when his father and company founder, Robert (Bob) Short, semi-retired. His focus is sales and marketing, building Fire & Emergency Services SA's profile among property and facility managers, aged care providers, and hotel maintenance teams across South Australia—making him a familiar face at Property Council and Facility Management Association events.
Committed to continuous improvement, Alan has driven initiatives like a new logo, website, the Facility And Control System (FACS), and updated procedures, and welcomes feedback on further improvements.
Passionate about fire safety, he regularly presents at business seminars and national conferences on fire protection maintenance and risk management, and is available for presentations or training.
