More New Members and Services for CAB
November 2019

During November, CAB welcomed 4 new members in Aluminium Shapes, Crown Doors & Shutters, DUCO Ventilation & Sun Control and Saint-Gobain Glass. The ongoing shift to aluminium as the sustainable material of choice continues, most notably in the residential sector.

CAB’s focus is as ever, to protect, defend and promote its members and this message together with a number of exciting ongoing activities in training and recycling are continuing to attract new membership applications at a record rate.

As CAB continues to grow, the Association has been able to announce new added value services. In early December a free Croner telephone helpline is being launched. CAB members will now be able to use the service to address HR, H&S, PAYE, Tax and commercial litigation. Many of these services are available 24 hours and also have unlimited access.

The seminar series which remains one of the most popular elements of the CAB annual programme and is all about defending members’ positions and enabling them to better protect themselves. Our presenter Geraldine Fleming, Operations Director, Driver Trett delivers the seminars through a mixture of up to the minute case studies and scenario building drawing on her wide experience with Balfour Beatty and as a trained lawyer and QS. A full programme for 2020 will be announced shortly, but topics will include the following areas over 4/5 seminars across the country:

• JCT Contracts
• Design Liability
• Legal Updates
• Commercial awareness for site-based staff
• Contractual nightmares
