Julie Grosert

British APCO Association Support Officer

Julie Grosert joined British APCO as the Association Support Officer in September 2025 having decided to take up semi-retirement after 43 years working for County Durham and Darlington Fire & Rescue Service (CDDFRS) in the Command & Control room.  Throughout her time with CDDFRS, Julie has had the opportunity to contribute to projects such as FiReControl, the CDDFRS Mobilising project, the Joint Emergency Services Interoperability Programme (JESIP), and concluded her fire service career as a key user representative with the UK Home Office Emergency Service Mobile Communication Programme (ESMCP).

Her key focus will be working alongside the Chief Operating Officer and Board of Trustees, in particular working to maintain British APCO's visibility across user and supplier communities to deliver targeted support that meets our members' evolving needs.  Julie will also be integral in supporting further implementation of the Multi-Agency Incident Transfer (MAIT), helping to improve interoperability and communication between agencies.  And finally, she has an important development role supporting applicants and recipients for the annual Ian Thompson Bursary awards, helping to foster professional development and innovation within the sector.
