Show time
Firstly, there is little point speculating here what the Chancellor might or might not have in store in the Spring Budget because within less than 24 hours, all crystal ball gazing will be redundant – and he will probably have proven once again that in the era of Trump and Brexit, there really is absolutely no point in trying to forecast anything.
A little more certain is that the announcement of the FIT Show Seminar programme means the run-up to the event is now in full swing, something confirmed by the growing trickle of news from exhibitors about what will be on show. Read Story
Speaking of exhibitions, it’s Ecobuild time again and, as well as the launch today of the new life cycle assessment for timber windows, we might expect to hear more from exhibitors in the near future. Read Story
Oh and, by the way, we are reliably assured that the new CORGI Fenestration scheme isn’t only for gas filled units.
We hope you enjoy this week’s issue.
