Seek professional support says Interbuild
Following recent story about a builder who took drastic action by demolishing his handiwork after non-payment, Interbuild is calling on tradesmen to seek professional support.
Among NFRC members already confirmed are some of roofing's most innovative market leaders including H D Sharman - originators of the Rubberised Plygene Guttering System 20 years ago; Helifix, the company behind the first one-piece helical roof tile; and Web Dynamics, manufacturers of TLX, formerly Thinsulex, the original BBA certified multi-foil insulation solution.
"We had an excellent response on-stand at last year's event and so our presence at Interbuild has always been an important part of our 2008 marketing plan," says managing director of Web Dynamics, Nick Searle.
"We are a forward thinking company and invest time and resource into research and development to ensure we have a clear understanding of customer needs and market developments".
