How do you defend Mugging
Looking for the exit or seeking to leverage an advantage, can one route be effective for all, or does sometimes doing the opposite measure up. How did we get to this? Is it what the mainstream media is suggesting each day that is creating a new agenda for us to follow? That is certainly the option the Government appears to have taken.
This turmoil is only confusing for those that lack focus, those that will diligently follow others and forget reality. Understanding the mainstream media's purpose helps, it is not all about starry eyed real investigative journalism as they would have you think. They are not there to expose wrong doing or as an upholder of some sort of moral code. The mainstream media is there to earn money, money for their shareholder which comes from creating exposure for their advertisers; everything else if it exists is incidental. The headlines, the soundbite if you like, are not about a real fact, it is there to grab your attention, get you to read on, the sole purpose is exposing you to their advertiser. It is the adverts that pay the writer's wages and the shareholders dividends, nothing else.
Get into the story itself and the headline is qualified, subdued and pales through lack of real content. The job was done once the advertiser was exposed.
The only concern could be is the manipulation of a sector of society that believed the soundbite was some sort of truth.
Is the Fenestration Industry any different? Why should it be? For starters it will go nowhere without customers.…»
Letter to the media
We are clearly in unprecedented times. However, the glass and glazing industry appears to be facing untold challenges when it comes to the supply of products. By that, I mean PVC and aluminium extrusions, hardware, reinforcement, glass and other ancillaries.
Anyone in the industry claiming otherwise simply isn't telling the truth and headline claims by companies being x% up on last year don't help the matter either. It's a disruptive market with companies throughout the supply chain facing the operational challenges to deliver the work-in-progress, along with satisfying the unprecedented new consumer demand. …»

Letter to the Editor - Build back modular
Dear Ian
As industry emerges from lockdown, and the closure of infrastructure and construction projects, we are in a good position to revaluate our environmental approach.
The building and construction sector accounts for around 39 per cent of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, with construction operations making up 11 per cent of that. The government has pledged £26 million to support advanced new building techniques in order to reduce build costs and cut carbon emissions in the construction industry. To aid a successful green recovery, we must invest in modern, sustainable building techniques.…»
Best regards
Nick Cowley, Managing Director
