Get To Know Us Better
Siren Training was formed in 2013 by Mat and Steve, who were previously firefighters from the London Fire Brigade.
Using their vast lived experience and professional skills from the fire service, they set out to create a company which could support individuals and organisations with their first aid and fire safety needs. It had a simple point of differentiation – all training would be delivered by instructors with professional experience in the emergency services sector. Who better to deliver engaging and relevant training than professionals with lived experience?
In 2019, Siren decided to expand their training offering to include Mental Health First Aid. The pandemic then struck in 2020 and the threat to people’s mental health inflated.
With Steve’s added history as a British soldier in Iraq and Afghanistan, he was no stranger to trauma and he felt compelled to help reduce the stigma around mental ill-health. Mat was equally passionate about mental health, having witnessed the decline of several family members due to mental illness including anxiety disorders, depression and psychosis.
