Regional Director for Ireland, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hawkins.biz\/experts\/john-holland-dublin-rd\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">John Holland<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> was recently interviewed in the Irish Broker Magazine following Hawkins\u2019 strategic expansion into Ireland and his role as a forensic investigator.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">John addressed some common misconceptions about forensic work, explaining that CSI or Silent Witness do not accurately reflect the daily realities of the job. Forensic investigations often involve challenging conditions, such as exposure to the elements and confined spaces, and can be emotionally demanding due to the human impact of incidents.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">John highlighted that a forensic investigation can significantly influence a case by providing early, scientifically robust interpretations of technical issues, enabling informed decisions on liability. Hawkins prioritises honesty, integrity, and impartiality, ensuring rapid site attendance, rigorous scientific analysis, and expert evidence in court when necessary.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">He concluded the interview by stating that everyone, including Brokers, can avail the services of Hawkins. Instructions from brokers typically come from claims departments, but occasionally from brokers themselves concerned about exposure to claims on their professional indemnity insurance.\u202fJohn\u2019s interview can be read in the <a href=\"https:\/\/irishbroker.ie\/april-2025\/#irishbroker-df_7952\/41\/\">Irish Broker<\/a> on <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">page 37<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hawkins.biz\/experts\/john-holland-dublin-rd\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">John<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> specialises in the investigation of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hawkins.biz\/forensic-investigation\/fire-explosions\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">fires<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hawkins.biz\/forensic-investigation\/fire-explosions\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">explosions<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hawkins.biz\/forensic-investigation\/engineering\/escapes-of-water-oil-gas\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">escapes of fluid<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, building damage resulting from water ingress, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hawkins.biz\/forensic-investigation\/engineering\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">engineering failures<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hawkins.biz\/forensic-investigation\/personal-injury\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">personal injuries<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hawkins.biz\/forensic-investigation\/road-traffic-collisions\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">road traffic accidents<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">.
