INSIGHT DATA STRENGTHENS CONSTRUCTION SECTOR TIES WITH CPA MEMBERSHIP

» THE CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTS Association( CPA) is the leading trade body for construction product manufacturers, suppliers and trade associations. Through its direct members and wider network, it represents around 85 per cent of the UK construction industry and plays an influential role in shaping government policy and supporting the sector’ s long-term growth.
Insight Data holds one of the most detailed commercial databases in the UK construction sector, covering glazing fabricators and installers, builders’ merchants, housebuilders, architects, roofing contractors, and heating and plumbing businesses, among others. Its Salestracker CRM platform is used by more than 1,000 sales professionals, including many of the glazing industry’ s biggest brands.
Membership of the CPA opens the door to future research collaboration, joint data projects and closer engagement with the manufacturers and suppliers that make up the association’ s membership- opportunities Insight Data intends to explore as the relationship develops.
Alex Tremlett, Commercial Director of Insight Data, said:“ We hold detailed intelligence on tens of thousands of businesses right across the construction supply chain. CPA membership gives us the opportunity to bring that closer to the manufacturers, suppliers and trade bodies at the heart of the industry- and to explore how our data can support research and projects that benefit the sector as a whole.
“ There is real potential here for meaningful collaboration. We are looking forward to getting involved with the CPA network and finding ways to add value.” Rob Lee, Senior External Affairs Manager at the CPA, said:“ Insight Data has built an impressive picture of the construction supply chain, and particularly the glazing and fenestration sector. We are pleased to welcome them as Associate Members and look forward to exploring how their market intelligence can complement the work of the CPA and its members.”
Alongside the membership itself, Insight Data will have access to CPA events, working groups and industry forums, strengthening its connections across the wider construction products sector.

The Residence Collection Reaffirms Commitment to FIT Show 2027 as VIP Sponsor

» PREMIUM WINDOW and door designer The Residence Collection has announced that it will return to FIT Show 2027 as VIP Lounge Sponsor for the first time. The company will also exhibit at the event, which takes place from 18 – 20 May 2027 at the NEC Birmingham.
The Residence Collection’ s stand will be positioned opposite the VIP Lounge, giving the team a prominent base from which to welcome visitors, meet customers and partners,
and showcase its R9, R7 and R ² window and door systems.
The Residence Collection is encouraging the wider sector to support the event alongside them and recognise its importance to the industry’ s future. The people involved in the trade sector are what make the event come to life, and without attendance, the show simply won’ t carry the same weight. As VIP Lounge Sponsor, The Residence Collection will provide a dedicated space for informal meetings, hospitality
and networking throughout the show. The lounge will support the company’ s wider presence at FIT Show, creating an opportunity to connect with customers, colleagues, partners and other industry professionals away from the exhibition floor.
For The Residence Collection, the sponsorship reflects its continued support for FIT Show and its belief in the value of bringing the fenestration community together in person. With the company’ s stand located directly opposite the VIP Lounge, visitors will be able to move easily between the two spaces throughout the event.
Jo Trotman, Sales and Marketing Manager at The Residence Collection, comments:
“ FIT Show plays such an important role in bringing the industry together, particularly as it is the only dedicated exhibition of its kind in the UK. If you’ re involved in any area of the window, door, flat glass, hardware or wider fenestration industry, attending FIT Show is a great way to build new relationships, share ideas and stay connected with the sector.”
