• Economic Outlook – Realistic Revelations At Summit

A leading London economist, Edward Johnstone, will give an exclusive keynote at the 2023 Glazing Summit and reveal what he believes is the realistic economic outlook for the glazing industry.

Johnstone is co-chief investment officer at Arbuthnot Latham private wealth bank. His keynote is entitled ‘Seeing the Bigger Picture – the Economists view’.

He will analyse and discuss the economic consequences of inflation and interest rates, along with the challenges posed by the cost-of-living crisis and the dynamics of the housing and property market. He will ask (and answer) the question can we anticipate a challenging period ahead or might the market regain its momentum?

Andrew Scott, founder of the Glazing Summit, says: “Every year, our economists view keynote is hugely popular and vital for delegates to get a handle on how the industry could be affected by the UK economy in the future. 

“Ed will share a banks view on the home improvement and property market and reveal if we are in for a rough two years or if the market will bounce back.”

General election

Scot tads: “The window, door and conservatory market is dependent on many external factors, including inflation and a looming general election. Ed will discuss the implications of these and how they are likely to have an impact on the industry.”

Where is the summit?

The Glazing Summit takes place at Edgbaston Stadium and Conference Centre, Birmingham on Thursday, October 12. It brings together almost 500 business leaders from across the fenestration supply chain for a day of no-nonsense debate on the biggest challenges facing the glass and glazing industry.
