The GAI has welcomed the Grenfell Tower Inquiry’s final report. The Guild said: "This publication is one of huge importance to all within the UK construction industry.
"We fully respect both the findings of the report and the series of recommendations within it. The GAI would like to offer our sympathies and condolences to the families and wider Grenfell community. This is a tragedy which could and should have been avoided.
"We will be taking the time to review the findings of the report to assess the impact that this will have on the architectural ironmongery industry. During which time we will continue to work closely with our members, government and industry partners to drive and improve standards within our industry, which is core to our purpose at the GAI."
The Grenfell Inquiry published on 4 September is the second and final report of the fire in the residential tower that killed 72 people on 14 June 2017.
The 1,700-page document, produced after almost seven years of an Inquiry divided into two phases, includes a series of recommendations, most aimed at the built environment.
