Shhhh… Heathrow Quieter
Homes Scheme lands at FIT
» » THE FIT SHOW IS PLEASED TO
welcome Heathrow Airport for the first time
– as the airport will utilise the event as a
platform to secure key elements of its supply
chain to deliver its ongoing ‘Heathrow
Quieter Homes Scheme’.
The scheme, designed to make noise
attenuation improvements to windows,
external door, provides insulation and
ventilation to homes within a growing
catchment area. “The Heathrow Quieter
Homes Scheme” commenced in 2013 and
has already seen improvements made to an
estimated 400 homes per year. Heathrow
has pledged to further expand its project in
the run up to the third runway.
The airport is already working with the
likes of Newview Homes and Nationwide
to manage the installation of products from
companies such as Profile 22, Eurocell and
Rehau, but needs to broaden this further.
Heathrow will use FIT Show as a mechanism
to see what other UPVC, timber and
aluminium products are available, as well
as an opportunity to meet with prospective
installers to explain the scheme and explain
how they could help deliver these projects.
Speaking about its decision to exhibit
at FIT Show, Andrew Haynes, Heathrow’s
Procurement Director said: “The
manufacturers and installers we will meet at
the FIT Show will be an essential resource to
us as we deliver on our promise to provide a
Link Vent Mk 2
world-class noise insulation programme and
reduce the impacts of noise on those closest
to us. We are looking forward to this year’s
event and meeting businesses across the
UK with the ideas, energy and commitment
we need to deliver our plans.”
FIT Show Event Director, Nickie West
said: “The work that is already being done
by Heathrow from an upskilling, training
and quality perspective is truly music to
our ears. We’re completely aligned with
their ambitions to utilise FIT Show as
a key platform to help connect with its
prospective supply chain in order to deliver
these programmes. We also know that our
audience, from exhibitors through to visitors,
will be massively excited by this and will use
FIT Show as an opportunity to meet with
Heathrow and unlock the potential to grow
their businesses by getting involved in the
scheme.”
