Maggie Harte joined AF&RS in January 2006 as head of Human
Resources (HR) and was promoted to her current role at the end of
last year.
With 25 years experience of working in fire services across the
country, Maggie has a good understanding of HR issues, having
covered a variety of areas from equalities and fairness to
management training.
Maggie began her career with the fire service at London Fire
Brigade where she was responsible for training. It was during
this time she became one of the first non-uniformed personnel to
manage initial firefighter training.
In 2003 Maggie left her role in London to work at The Fire
Service College in Moreton-in-Marsh as Director of Service
Delivery. While at the fire service college, Maggie was
closely involved in policy matters was part of the national group
for fire service values, and its successor group which developed a
new fire service leadership model.
Maggie said: “AF&RS is a great organisation with a lot of
good people doing good work, both on the front line and behind the
scenes.”
“My job is to make sure that we have the right people in the
right place with the right skills and abilities”.
