UK: Ken Munro, the chief executive officer of Superglass, has been appointed the chairman of the Mineral Wool Insulation Manufacturers’ Association (MIMA). He replaces David Travill, managing director of Isover Saint Gobain, in the role.
“I would like to thank David for his leadership and contribution, and I am pleased to be assuming the chair at such a critically important time for energy efficiency policy. Investment in the fabric of our homes and in their energy efficiency is good for the economy, increases productivity and attracts investment,” said Munro. “In Scotland, our government has already committed to making the energy efficiency of our homes an infrastructure priority and is supported by the influential Energy & Climate Change Committee, led by Scottish National Party Chair, Angus MacNeil. This is an encouraging position but we would like to see this realised across the United Kingdom.”
Sarah Kostense-Winterton, executive director of MIMA, added that the organisation aims to protect consumers from energy price volatility and from fuel poverty, whilst reducing the UK’s carbon emissions.
