MATHESON AND ASSOCIATES CONSULTING LIMITED

MATHESON AND ASSOCIATES CONSULTING LIMITED is a specialist consultancy that investigates fires, explosions, component failures and workplace accidents. Drawing on the founder’s extensive background in materials engineering, fire science and forensic engineering, the firm provides independent, evidence‑based analysis for insurers, police, health‑and‑safety authorities, private companies and state‑owned enterprises. Their investigations span commercial, domestic and vehicle fires, as well as escapes of water, fuel or gas, and they translate findings into clear “lessons learned” reports for clients.

Key services include forensic engineering investigations, expert witness testimony in courts and coroners’ inquests, and detailed failure analysis across sectors such as medical devices, mining and metallurgy. The team’s expertise is underpinned by Ian Matheson’s dual chartered engineering qualifications, an MBA, and training from institutions in Edinburgh, Stellenbosch and the United States, together with a portfolio of patents.

Operating across Ireland, South Africa and the United States, MATHESON AND ASSOCIATES CONSULTING LIMITED combines rigorous scientific methodology with a pragmatic, client‑focused approach, helping organisations understand the root causes of incidents and prevent future loss.
