Ductwork sector adds its clout to FETA

16 October, 2006

Looking for more say in legislation and working practices — Paul Roxburgh, president of the Association of Ductwork Contractors & Allied Services.

ADCAS (the Association of Ductwork Contractors & Allied Services) has joined FETA (Federation of Environmental Trade Associations) — giving the UK ductwork industry a louder voice in its campaign for better training and fair practice. FETA will provide a full secretarial and administrative service to ADCAS, which represents most of the UK industry, and is growing fast. Paul Roxburgh, president of ADCAS, says, ‘We’re succeeding in attracting new members. The association has grown by over 10% in the past year alone. However, ductwork manufacture and installation is a multi-million industry whose members must have a say on the legislation and working practices that affect them. Membership of FETA and the ability to share experience with like-minded trade associations will give us a more direct route to Government ministers and other top-level decision makers.’ Cedric Sloan, director general of FETA, says, ‘Ductwork is a vital discipline within the building-services industry and offers a perfect synergy with our other members’ interests. ADCAS will bring new strength and a new viewpoint to FETA. In exchange, we will offer our unrivalled network of contacts to help drive the ADCAS message home.’
