Editor’s Comment GEORGE LEWIS EDITOR GEORGELEWIS@MEDIA-NOW.CO.UK WWW.TOTAL-FABRICATOR.CO.UK Many within fenestration and construction will be glad to see the back of 2021 – a year in which we saw material prices increase, skills shortages compounded, alongside regular Covid-19 struggles in daily life. The reality is, however, these challenges are likely to remain well into 2022, but out of the struggle, opportunity often arises.

Front cover courtesy of Made for Trade: Find out more about its extensive offering which includes the Korniche bi-folding door at madefortrade. CONNECTING THE WINDOW & DOOR FABRICATORS SUPPLY CHAIN The survey also suggested that 38% would even be prepared to pay more for home improvement products that had a higher recycled content and reduced impact on the environment, so this is clearly a trend for fabricators and installers to keep an eye on. Positive news in the Business Pilot barometer (page 13) suggests that order value and conversion rate actually rose during December, with signs that supply chains are starting to stabilise, despite retail sales and leads being down.

Haffner has also extended its stand space to a huge 610m 2 , a real positive for visitors to the FIT Show 2022 this May! All in all, the industry outlook for 2022 seems to be one of slight optimism but as the last couple of years has shown, it’s wise to be braced for turbulence. I hope you enjoy the issue.
