Businesses across the entire construction supply chain are operating in extremely difficult conditions at the moment, with many fearing worse is to come.
On Thursday 9 October, NFRC welcomed two senior officials from the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) to brief over 40 Members on the government’s major consultation proposing reforms to Late Payment and retention laws.
“Poor payment practices continue to unfairly strain the finances of roofing and cladding businesses during a period of record insolvencies within construction,” says NFRC Group CEO James Talman.
We were pleased to have confirmed that the work we started a year ago on ending retentions is being supported by the new Government and Business Ministers.
