Unfortunately, the title above is a lie. I am a double glazing salesman, but I didn’t invent the WER scheme. If I had, I would be raking it in right now. I bet the GGF and BFRC can’t wait till October. Once Part L has been changed to having to have a WER certificate to show compliance, they will make a fortune in certification fees. Tens of millions in fact.
For all the mountains of money they will make, the question I want to ask is will the window industry see any investment back. Will the GGF give window companies any sort of simplified formula to explain WER’s properly. Will we recieve any sales literature to help us with customers. I’m not holding out much hope.
Come New Year 2011, we can expect plenty of bankruptcies, probably from small to medium concerns. Suppliers really have to pull their finger out now otherwise they are going to bite the dust, in a similar way to when FENSA was introduced.
>The money they raise will get ploughed back into expenses for lobbying the government to accept the next hair brained scheme that the GGF wish to tax us with
>No doubt that will happen lol.
