Martin Hepburn on the NFAs and Sheerline’s Eight Nominations
It’s been a turbulent year for the industry – is that an understatement? We’ve witnessed mergers and acquisitions, businesses collapse, and consolidation previously unseen within the aluminium sector, but familiar to those of us who remember how the PVCu market shifted from stockists to systems companies that extruded their own profile.
