Andy Jones, Group Managing Director of Victorian Sliders, comments on the latest details about the government’s Green Homes Grant.
After a frustrating few weeks, the government has finally confirmed the details of its Green Homes Grant.
First announced back in July, the multibillion-pound scheme was billed as a way of boosting the UK economy in the wake of coronavirus, and accelerating attempts to reach the country's ambitious 2050 carbon reduction targets.
We were told that homeowners were to be offered vouchers worth up to £5,000 to cover two-thirds of the cost for home improvements that increase energy efficiency.
It sounded promising in theory - but, crucially, we weren’t told what products would be eligible.
For the fenestration industry, that was a big problem. Customers started cancelling orders in the belief that they’d be able to get them significantly cheaper once the initiative began.…»
PPE protection for your workforce and customers
Following yet another controversial glazing industry pre-pack administration, Gary Morton of the Boing Boing Group gives his take on the practise, and how the industry should respond.
Once, there was a real stigma attached to going bankrupt - and as a society, it's good we've become a little more compassionate.
Sometimes, businesses fail through no direct fault of the people that own and run them, and those people deserve our understanding and support, if appropriate.
But it is also feasible for companies to take advantage of our collective generosity and goodwill.
This, unfortunately, is what we have seen with the recent collapse of the Customade Group.
In June, the company was placed into administration, owing huge sums of money to its suppliers, crown debt and worst of all, a fair number of its employees.…»
