The inquiry's final report stated that all of the deaths in the Grenfell Tower fire were avoidable, pointing to numerous failings by multiple institutions and individuals. Martin Moore-Bick, the chair of the inquiry, indicated that it was a result of incompetence and, in some cases, dishonesty and greed.
The investigation revealed that the cladding used on Grenfell Tower was highly combustible, which allowed a small kitchen fire to rapidly spread, ultimately resulting in the tower being engulfed in flames in a matter of minutes.
Criticism was directed towards the companies that manufactured the cladding for their role in manipulating the testing processes, misrepresenting data, and misleading the market, significantly contributing to the disaster.
The London Fire Brigade faced scrutiny for not learning from a 2009 fire, indicating a failure to address critical lessons that could have potentially prevented the devastating outcome of the Grenfell Tower blaze.
