The inquiry highlighted housing manager’s failure to disclose fire risks to its board and its troubled relationship with residents

The Kensington and Chelsea Tenant Management Organisation failed to disclose important information about fire safety risks at Grenfell Tower on numerous occasions, the inquiry’s final report on the fire has found.

In a 2009 report to the TMO board, it was noted that the TMO did not mention that Salvus Consulting Limited had identified 19 breaches of the Fire Safety Order in their assessment.

The report concluded that Robert Black, KCTMO’s chief executive, and the executive team “failed to make even the most basic disclosure to the board regarding the widespread systemic failings in fire safety management identified by Salvus.”
