GGF goes Regional with the Green Message

Last week the GGF Chief Executive, Nigel Rees, had a very positive meeting with the Rt Hon Elliott Morley MP. He is MP for Scunthorpe and a former Environment Minister. Nigel had the opportunity to brief on the outcomes of Project Green, both the environmental credentials and the fiscal energy saving and CO2 emission reductions possible, following the installation of energy efficient windows.

'We had the opportunity to discuss the current situation in the Industry and the difficult times being faced by window companies, selling to the consumer'. He was surprised to hear about the VAT anomaly and agreed to follow up with the Treasury to attempt to ascertain why double glazing and low emissivity glass should be specifically excluded. He agreed that energy efficient windows offered an excellent means to save energy and reduce emissions and would assist if he could. He agreed that some form of incentive was needed to assist the seller, prior to sale, or the purchaser after they have purchased a property with poor performing windows.'

'We agreed to maintain contact and pass on further details when they are available.'
