Our Sittingbourne factory and head office recently had the pleasure of hosting students from the Architectural Association in London.

The Building Safety Act sets out to radically change the construction industry. In the past both Latham and Egan both attempted, with limited success, to bring about change, so why will be different this time around?

Knauf UK and Ireland are pleased to announce their new partnership with Encore Environment to deliver an enhanced waste management service to reduce plasterboard waste. 

A defining element of the Building Safety Act is the requirement it places on all those in the construction industry to be competent to ensure compliance with the Building Regulations.

From 1 October 2023, the next round of changes to construction practice will be enforced. For those involved in Higher Risk Buildings, this key change requires detailed designs to be signed off by the Building Safety Regulator before site work can begin.

Once again, Knauf is celebrating Black History Month, and this year we are focusing on inspiration, with our #Salutingoursisters programme.

We have partnered with ten other major organisations across the construction industry to establish the Construction Inclusion Coalition (CIC) to improve equity, diversity and inclusion in the sector.

The Grenfell tragedy shone a horrifying light on decades of under-investment in skills and knowledge across the construction industry. The resulting Building Safety Act is looking to fix many of the problems and manufacturers have an important role to play.

The construction industry is on a cliff-edge. Already struggling to fill vacancies across the board we are faced with an aging workforce, 25% of whom are due to retire in the next ten years. We struggle to recruit, to train and retain talent. How did we get into this mess and how can we pull ourselves out of it?

We are delighted to share that two of our Apprentices, Sarah Olusola, HR Support Apprentice, and Olly Julier, Digital Marketing Apprentice have each taken home a top award.

What defines Knauf beyond the products and services we provide? Addressing this is our new brand campaign featuring a bold new look and messaging. The campaign reaches out to our customers with the core reasons to choose Knauf.

A key commitment for Knauf is to reduce the environmental impact of product packaging without compromising quality or ease of use. The goal is always to be ahead of legislative requirements.
