The National Home Improvement Council (NHIC) are delighted to announce Anda Gregory as its new Vice Chair.
Anda is the Chief Development Officer at the Glass and Glazing Federation’s (GGF). Her appointment builds on the solid heritage the NHIC has shown throughout its time of promoting women across the construction industry.
“With this appointment, the NHIC builds on its legacy of women in senior roles, from its past President to previous Chairs and board members as well as encouraging members to consider their own EDI agendas,” said NHIC chief executive Anna Scothern.
Paul Everall CBE, NHIC Chair, said “I am delighted to welcome Anda as the new Vice-chair of the NHIC. Since she joined the board, she has always made constructive comments and contributions, and I feel sure she will do an excellent job in her new role.”
The NHIC President Rt Hon Lord Andrew Stunell OBE commented “I’m very pleased to welcome Anda as a new Vice Chair. She strengthens an already strong team, and I look forward to NHIC continuing to lead the sector in tackling the big challenges it faces.”
The NHIC has committed to being net-zero carbon before it turns 50 in 2025 and this appointment is further evidence of the Council’s commitment to reducing energy demand by improving homes via a fabric-first approach throughout the UK.
Anda Gregory, GGF Chief Development Officer, said “I’m delighted to be appointed as Vice Chair on the Board of the National Home Improvement Council. This is a pivotal time for the Council as it returns to its origins by promoting the reduction in energy demand achievable by properly upgrading homes and taking a fabric-first approach to energy efficiency. The home improvement industry collectively can bring so many benefits to homeowners and tenants, including more energy-efficient properties, reducing energy bills, and doing our bit for the planet, as well as making homes healthier and safer. It’s great to be able to support the NHIC further in its mission through taking the Vice Chair role.”
The NHIC’s ongoing campaign to raise awareness amongst homeowners of why improving the energy efficiency of homes is so important, goes hand in hand with their ever-increasing influence with key government departments on the impact the construction industry can have for the UK to reach its 2050 Net Zero goals. This, at a time when the heating and powering of homes, accounts for one-third of all greenhouse gas emissions in the UK.
