The London-based FLASH Programme has been giving members insight into the growing market for energy efficient refurbishment, helping them to get ready to access the up to £6.5 billion worth of work: it’s estimated this will act as a springboard for growth for 200,000 SMEs, so FMB wants to make sure it’s members are first in line.
Successful seminars have been running recently, including a seminar on Retrofit for Traditional Buildings, where expert speakers gave guidance on the importance of moisture control and ventilation for old buildings, and the vital role played by skills and training when working on traditional and heritage buildings.
Next London-FMB/FLASH event: Wednesday 21 September 6pm – 9pm:
Gordon Fisher House, London WC1: Planning for the low carbon retrofit challenge.
Includes advice on marketing and promoting your low carbon services.

The good news is that FLASH is now moving out into the South East, beginning with the FLASH+ launch conference on 27 September, at Stanhill Court Hotel, Charlwood, Surrey.
This will include guidance on the coming Green Deal from FMB’s Director of External Affairs Brian Berry, case studies on what works and what doesn’t, costs and payback times.
