Nigel Rees, GGF Group Chief Executive, commented, “We’re happy to brief all MPs on our campaigns and the key issues affecting our Members and the wider industry. It came as no surprise that the policing of Green Deal was the subject of debate. Both Green Deal and ECO continue to struggle to inspire homeowners and companies and verifying the authenticity of those in the supply chain is fundamental for any scheme to work. We would welcome a complete review of the Green Deal supply chain from providers, assessors through to installers.”
