The 61 people attending last Thursday’s AGM were also told how the new TRA website could give them commercial benefits, while a panel of guest speakers outlined the carbon debate taking place in construction circles across the UK.
TRA chairman Paul Baron said the Construction Products Association had upped its growth forecast for UK housing starts to 4.5% in 2013, while Experian had revised its own projections upwards to 7% growth.

A demonstration of the new TRA website, an £8,000 investment, showed members how the resource could promote their products and services.
