The Council for Aluminium in Building is marking its return to physical meetings with plans for its next Members’ Day at the Royal Armories, Leeds, with guests including former Housing Minister Esther McVey, when the industry’s supply chain crisis likely to be high on the agenda for discussion.
Other guests at the event on October 14 include Andy Boutle, Head of BIM at Keir Construction and engagement co-lead for UK BIM Alliance, and Uday Patel, Senior Research Manager, Global Aluminium Markets at Wood Mackenzie.
Chief Executive Phil Slinger said: “It has now been two years since our last physical meeting that took place at the Imperial War Museum, Salford on the 24th October 2019. We are looking forward to welcoming our members and guests to a day of networking and discussion culminating in an evening dinner. For myself, it will be a chance to meet our members for the first time since joining CAB and listen to their concerns about the Industry and how the Association can help.
“To say the Industry at the moment is faced with challenges, is possibly an understatement, with many claiming that we have a ‘perfect storm’; a high demand for product, but with serious supply chain problems across all sectors. A topic we will all have a view on and, no doubt, we will all be discussing when we all meet.”
