‘There are
many reasons
for optimism
... but we are
concerned that
several key issues
were simply not
addressed’
Nigel Rees, GGF Group
Chief Executive commented.
“There are many reasons
for optimism following the
Chancellor’s announcements, but we are concerned
that several key issues were
simply not addressed. It’s
unclear, for example, how
the Government will fund
the installation of vital
energy efficiency products
in the homes of people currently living in fuel poverty
and who will be disproportionately impacted by a
reduction in ECO (Energy
Company Obligation). ECO
is the one green initiative
that seems to be working
and diminishing the scheme
is counter-productive for all
concerned.”
Giles Willson, GGF Deputy Chief Executive and Director of Technical Affairs
added, “I am pleased to see
a boost for companies who
are employing or looking
to employ young people.
However, the Government
has yet again missed the
big opportunity to tackle
the issue of reducing the
VAT from 20% to 5% on
energy efficient windows.”

‘we want every
session in the 3
day programme
to be packed’
For 2014 we want every
session in the 3 day programme to be packed so
that everyone attending
can put what they learn to
work immediately: one idea
alone could be worth the
visit to The FIT Show!
We believe the best way
to put together the perfect
FIT for Business seminar
programme is to ask the
industry what it wants to
know more about, what
issues are of primary interest – what you can benefit
most from.

Show web site at www.

can to include your idea
in the programme.
