The Builders Merchants Federation has called on Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, to support a national retrofit strategy that would make 500,000 new jobs across the UK.

The call was made during the BMF’s Annual Parliamentary Reception at the House of Commons.

“Soaring energy bills have focused attention on the need to insulate our homes. The National Retrofit Strategy is a 20-year programme to upgrade 29 million homes to make them warmer, greener and cheaper to run.”
