Get Retro Fit campaign
[edit] National Retrofit Hub announces their ‘Get Retro Fit’ initiative in partnership with InstallerSHOW.
The National Retrofit Hub (NRH) has announced that they will be hosting a panel, followed by a drinks reception at Installer SHOW on Wednesday 26th June, as part of their “Get Retro Fit” initiative with Lyrical Communications – including elemental, Installer, and Installer SHOW.
The collaborative effort, that offers round tables and networking opportunities to support the industry in scaling retrofit solutions, will be hosting its first panel to help attendees discover how to enhance their business, regardless of its size.
Lucy Dixon, Head of Content – elemental UK at Lyrical Communications, highlighted the significance of this partnership, stating, “The National Retrofit Hub will play a central role at Installer SHOW, bringing together the retrofit supply chain and showcasing opportunities to our wider audience. This initiative promises to drive progress, and we're eager to explore its potential.”
Rachael Owens, Co-Director at the National Retrofit Hub added: “At the National Retrofit Hub, we are dedicated to fostering knowledge exchange and collaboration within the retrofit community. Through Installer SHOW, we'll showcase the pivotal role of retrofit in creating a sustainable built environment. Together, we're committed to amplifying opportunities and overcoming challenges in retrofitting for a better future.”
Join them at Installer SHOW in Birmingham at the Housing Hub stand on Wednesday 26th June at 12pm, as they spotlight the pathways to success: from igniting demand for retrofit services among your clients to accessing essential training and resources for delivering top-notch quality.
Learn first hand from industry leaders how to effectively communicate the crucial connection between home performance and health, well-being, and cost savings. NRH Co-Directors Rachael Owens and Sara Edmonds will be joined by an exciting line-up of guest speakers, including:

The NRH will keep the momentum going after the panel, with an exciting networking opportunity - a drinks reception at 4pm at the Housing Hub stand. Sponsored by Isover, part of Saint-Gobain Interior Solutions. The informal gathering will provide attendees with a chance to meet the faces behind the National Retrofit Hub and connect with experts from across the retrofit sector.
Jag Sharma, Head of Sector Development for the Retrofit and Refurbishment Sector, at Saint-Gobain Interior Solutions, home to Isover, commented: “We are delighted to be supporting the National Retrofit Hub at the Installer SHOW, and enabling collaboration across the built environment. As manufacturers of insulation solutions, we care about building better for people and the planet. Collaboration across our industry has a pivotal role to play in creating sustainable, fabric-first solutions to the retrofit challenge.”
