Opening membership to supply chain
30th June 2020

CERTASS TRADE ASSOCIATION is inviting fabricators, component manufacturers and other suppliers to join its ranks alongside its existing installer members.
Chairman Jon Vanstone explained: “The beginning of the COVID-19 situation made it very clear that we were lacking a connection between the glazing industry and Government. The fabricators I talked to confided that they weren’t receiving the support and advice that they needed from their trade organisations and didn’t know where to go to ask questions of Government.
“With my positions in other construction industry sectors, I was able to bring the view of glazing to the right people in Government and wider construction community, ask questions and get clarity on information to help installers and fabricators through the pandemic.
“Feedback has been positive, and with so much regulatory change on the horizon, it makes sense to now open up our trade association to the wider industry to support the entire supply chain, with good practice advice and information as well as giving them a voice in future Government led discussions.”
Certass TA Membership gives fabricators access to a monthly webinar with Jon Vanstone to discuss the position of Government and regulations with a debate on key actions. They also get access to Certass TA documents and best practice guidance, the Members Forum on Facebook and information relating to consumer feedback on installers work.
Fabricator and manufacturer members will have their own profile on the Certass TA website and be able to submit their news to feature on the members monthly newsletter to more than 3,000 installation companies.
