Perhaps you’ll find the product will add something different to your business in 2016? Each day within one of the seminar theatres we will be
hosting a debate on some of the key issues affecting the industry. A panel chaired by Ray Horwood, Former Chief Executive of the NFRC, including roofing consultant and RCI Technical Note author Keith Roberts, the Construction Product Association’s Peter Capelhorn and Gary Wilburn of HPW Architects, will provide a lively debate on the key topics of how as an industry we can reduce call-backs on projects, and the importance of substituting with care when it comes to specification. These are issues that impact on projects throughout the UK, so make sure you don’t miss out! As the issue of skills shortages and concerns around training continue to affect construction, the RCI Show has teamed up with CITB to explain what companies in our industry can do to find and develop skilled workers. With this in mind, visitors will be able to
visit the CITB dropin clinic where experts will be on hand to answer any questions concerning taking on apprentices and funding for training, or up-skilling your workforce.
