Climate change and the Double Glazing Industry debate
I read with interest that the Glazine is organising an industry debate for 17th October to discuss ‘new legislation, climate change, saturation and maturity, consolidation, new products and new markets have driven massive changes in recent years’.
In theory this is a great idea, as no doubt the double glazing industry is struggling and needs new ideas. The problem is that the panel chosen to take part is not fully representative of the industry. According to the Glazine, those taking part include:
Anglian Home Improvements
Systems companies Eurocell, Profile 22, Rehau, and Spectus
Ultraframe
CGI International
fabricators Crystal Direct, John Fredericks, Masterframe, Shepley, and Sash UK
machinery companies Promac and Elumatec
Windowmaker and Profitmaker Software
the BPF
FENSA
A strong list of companies with individuals I am sure will add a lot to the debate. But what about the vast majority of individuals at the cutting edge of the industry - the small fabricators, the medium sized fabricators, the regional windows companies and the famous man in a white van!
And why wasn’t I invited?
