The Federation of Master Builders (FMB) said this is a victory for bold thinking and common sense and will allow the councils to build many more new homes. But the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) said this is not the way to address the housing shortage and is “financially irresponsible and costly”.
Brian Berry, chief executive of the FMB, commented: “This is the most exciting, and potentially transformative, announcement on council housing for many years.”
The Epwin Group (LON:EPWN) has changed significantly from its origins as one of the first PVC-U window fabrication businesses in the UK. Founded in 1976, the Group has grown both organically and by acquisition to become a market leader in the low maintenance building products sector.
In July 2014 the Epwin Group was listed on the London Stock Exchange AIM market starting a new era in its history.
The Group serves the trade, retail, new build and social housing sectors through a nationwide network of merchants, plastics stockists, window, door and conservatory manufacturers and installers.
