Excited to be heading down to London for two days to visit the Homes UK exhibition. Several Qualitymark Protection Accredited Installers are exhibiting and it’s always a pleasure to meet them face to face. I’m also looking forward to connect with some potential new installers too, I’ve got Sam Tatlock joining me tomorrow with a few meetings already lined up… As always, I’m keen to explore what other opportunities there in the marketplace. Most importantly how we can grow the consumer funded market with market leading robust financial protection and industry support. If anyone is around and would like to meet up please feel free to drop me a message 👍🏼
