This morning, I was pleased to join The Builders Merchants' Federation (BMF) for a visit to Jewson Ruislip in West End Road.

Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner is home to many builders and house-proud owners wanting to improve their homes, and so the visit was a useful opportunity to see first-hand the role the building materials industry can play in improving energy efficiency and driving down energy bills for residents. This is more important than ever as we navigate the challenges of the cost-of-living crisis.

It was very useful to gain a further insight into the products and solutions that are already available to help maximise energy efficiency in the home and to find out more about the expertise and knowledge that builders’ merchants have to offer.

The Government has set out its plans to tackle the energy crisis this winter, and it is encouraging to see that there are a range of options and products available that can help householders reduce their energy use.

I’d like to thank the BMF for organising the visit to Jewson Ruislip and the team there for hosting this event.
