2017 – A busy
and challenging year
for CAB
 Justin Ratcliffe, (CAB Chief Executive)
Our sector has experienced an incredibly busy and challenging year in 2017. UK construction must change following the tragic events that took place at Grenfell Tower. CAB represents the aluminium in building sector on the Construction Products Association Technical Expert Panel which links directly to the DCLG Industry Response Group. We are particularly grateful to all those members who have contributed and to the work of the CAB Fire Safety Working Group.
We must ensure that positives emanate from this tragedy in the form of clearer regulations, improved guidance, increased levels of training and robust compliance procedures.
While the Construction Products Association forecast that construction output will show only a nominal increase in 2017 and no growth in 2018, our own CAB State of the Market Surveys have consistently been more positive. Our Q3 2017 Survey highlighted that 56% net balance of members see growth over the next 12 months. Read More
I hope you enjoy this month's issue.
