CIGA launches new informative website
Charity begins at home
The Cavity Insulation Guarantee
Agency (CIGA) has launched a new
website at www.ciga.co.uk
The CIGA website, which regularly
receives 10,000 unique visitors
per month, is designed to provide
information and advice covering
Cavity Wall Insulation (CWI) to
householders, specifiers and
insulation companies, explain the
benefits of the independent CIGA 25
year Guarantee and allow users to
locate a local installer.
The new website includes various
features explaining what the
guarantee offers and the different
types of CWI available, plus a
very handy ‘Find an installer’ page
with a full list of all the registered
Installers and a System Designer
(manufacturers) page. It also
incorporates a useful in-depth Green
Deal and Energy Company Obligation
(ECO) section explaining the current
schemes under which CWI is
promoted.
Gerry Miller, Chief Executive of CIGA
commented: “We believe that the new
website retains the useful information
contained in the earlier version but
hope that consumers and industry
experts will find it much easier to use.
The site also includes latest industry
news, a secure member’s area
and live twitter feed and is reactive,
allowing for browsing on a range of
tablets and smart phones as well
as traditional computers. Alongside
the new CIGA website we have also
updated the Cavity Wall Insulation
Self Certification Scheme (CWISC)
website, which follows a similar
format.”
Charcon, Saint Gobain and Progetika
were just a few of the organisations
to give development charity Ashanti
Developments a warm welcome at
the Ecobuild Exhibition in March. The
charity was looking for organisations
to help transform lives by funding the
development of whole villages in the
rural area of central Ghana where
they operate.
“The isolated, impoverished villages in
this part of Ashanti have been hard hit
by global warming,” says the charity’s
founder, Martha Boadu. “When I was
a child, cocoa was easy to grow but
nowadays it’s almost disappeared.
Water is becoming more and more
scarce and we suffer a lot from
malnutrition. Nowadays, life
