In order to help BWF members benefit from the initiative, we’ve updated our member-only 'easy guide to the Green Deal' to reflect recent changes such as:
• The Green Deal cashback offer
• The latest Green Deal Code of Practice
• Further opportunities for the market
BWF Policy Executive Matt Mahony commented,
“The Green Deal is evolving on a weekly basis and this document should provide further clarity on how the initiative is progressing and how the market is gearing up.
It also brings an opportunity to reemphasise to BWF members the importance of fostering relationships with Green Deal providers, who are likely to be selecting the products and brands used. Potential major players such as Carillion and Grafton Group have made encouraging noises about working with local SMEs, but members will still have to network if they want to become manufacturers or installers.”
Our guide is intended to be very much a live document and we will keep updating it over the coming months. We also recommend that you keep an eye on the BWF Newsletter for key updates.
