CPD Seminars Available from Filon
As one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester) products, Filon has the experience and expertise to advise suppliers and installers on the benefits and applications of our product range. We offer CPD (continuing professional development) seminars and product training sessions, which can be held remotely, at Filon headquarters in Staffordshire, or at a location of your choice.
These sessions are designed to demonstrate the advantages of natural light, rooflighting and the Filon range. We have recently attended sessions for suppliers and distribution partners including Weatherproofing Advisors, European Plastics, United Roofing Products, demonstrating the Fixsafe system and the new ‘Heritage Valley’ range. If there is anything not listed that you think will benefit your team, please let us know and we can organise training in that area.
