About Us - The DALA Group

Clarity. Capability. Confidence. The Foundation of Everything We Do.

The DALA Group was founded by Chairman Dorian Lawrence and Managing Director Ant Attree, respected industry leaders who previously built one of the UK’s most trusted fire-safety consultancies. Through delivering major projects nationwide and supporting responsible persons across a changing regulatory landscape, they gained a clear understanding of what clients truly need: clarity, responsiveness, strong communication, and practical solutions.

The DALA Group is the evolution of that insight. Built as a modern, forward-thinking consultancy, we combine deep technical expertise with smarter processes, improved reporting, and innovative technologies to deliver faster, clearer, and more reliable outcomes. Every project strengthens our knowledge and every challenge drives improvement, ensuring our clients benefit from an organisation designed for the future of fire safety.

At our core is a collaborative, solution-focused culture built on professionalism, innovation, and accountability. Our team works with shared purpose and a commitment to doing things the right way – the DALA way.

At The DALA Group

We don’t just identify risks.
We help clients solve them.

We don’t just interpret regulations.
We turn them into practical, actionable guidance.

We don’t just advise.
We take ownership guiding each client from assessment to full compliance with confidence and professionalism.

The DALA Group is not simply the next chapter, it is the refined, innovative, high-performing progression of everything Dorian and Ant built before.

A consultancy shaped by experience, strengthened by innovation, and driven by a single purpose:

To provide the clarity, capability, and confidence that every responsible person deserves.

Our Culture

The DALA Group’s culture is shaped by professionals who value clarity, accountability, and practical solutions. We believe the best outcomes come from teams who challenge each other, communicate clearly, and act with integrity. These beliefs are embedded in five principles that guide how we operate every day.

Innovation

We always look for better ways. Every challenge is an opportunity to improve, refine, automate, or rethink how we work. Progress is part of our DNA, and we embrace new technologies and smarter processes to stay ahead of industry needs.

Pragmatism

We focus on what works. We value sound judgment, clear priorities, and the ability to turn complexity into clarity. Every recommendation we make is practical, grounded, and actionable.

Fun

We take our work seriously, but never ourselves. A sense of humour, positive energy, and genuine teamwork keep us grounded, connected, and human.

Courage

We speak up, take ownership, and make decisions with integrity — especially when it’s not the easy path. Our clients rely on us for honest, confident, and accountable advice.

Solution-Focused

We don’t dwell on problems; we design outcomes. Clients trust us because we bring clarity, resolve issues, and lead the way to compliance with professionalism and confidence.
