strategically steer and lead the company through a time where
insulation is recognised as a significant factor in the design of
buildings provides some great opportunities for Knauf Insulation

role”.
“2010 marks an important and challenging time
for the market with the step changes in Building Regulations Part
L, the development of the zero carbon definition and revisions on
the Code for Sustainable Homes. It is therefore crucial to continue
the company’s commitment to providing energy efficient solutions
for buildings and further strengthening and developing its market
position.”
