"I have personally made the moral decision to not use any of those companies' products in any of my projects, he said. I've also reached out to all the consultants and companies I work with, people I've associated with as friends and in the profession to say: Please don't use them.' We can all sit around and wait for criminal proceedings to happen, and we need to do that. We've got to follow due process. But the inquiry proved those companies were dishonest,"
"I would call on any architect, designer, procurement manager in construction or the housing sector, any landlord who's got to meet the energy performance certificates, or even if you're just insulating your loft do not use these companies. All three companies were found by the public inquiry to have behaved with systematic dishonesty and engaged in deliberate and sustained strategies to manipulate the testing processes, misrepresent test data and mislead the market."
George Clarke has made a moral decision not to use products from Arconic, Kingspan and Celotex in any of his projects and has urged consultants and companies to avoid them. Grenfell United and survivor Ed Daffarn call on architects, designers, procurement managers, landlords and homeowners to boycott those suppliers, including for loft insulation and energy performance certificates. The public inquiry found the three companies engaged in systematic dishonesty, manipulated testing, misrepresented test data and misled the market. Arconic deliberately concealed the true performance of its plastic-filled cladding panels, which fuelled the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire that killed 72 people.
