Retrofitting, the process of enhancing homes with energy-efficient technologies, stands as a linchpin in achieving governmental and council objectives for Net Zero emissions. With forecasts indicating a staggering 27,400 new green jobs over the next 25 years, the stage is set for a transformative shift in the local construction landscape. Waltham Forest's 70% pre-1944 housing stock offers a vast canvas for innovation, presenting an opportunity to create greener, warmer, and more energy-efficient homes for residents.
The webinar aims to empower trades businesses with the knowledge and tools necessary to thrive in this evolving market.

Esteemed speakers, including Brian Berry, CEO of the Federation of Master Builders, will lend their expertise to the discussion, offering invaluable insights and guidance.
