According to Noble Francis, Economic Director of the Construction Products Association, the Market Insights report "clearly identifies the issues of key importance in the housing market regarding the speed of the recovery and the long term needs of the country".

Produced by research consultancy HobsonFord Associates in collaboration with construction data specialists Barbour ABI, the report reviews the fundamental factors that influence demand, and forecasts a turn.

Glen Ford heads up the HobsonFord Market Insights team, and has closely followed trends in the UK housing market for the past 10 years. Previously Tarmac's Head of Development for their Building Materials Division, he describes the report as “an essential resource for senior executives, with an in-depth review of the UK housing market and future prospects.” Market Insights comes complete with details of the 50 leading contractors, clients and social housing projects drawn from Barbour ABI's comprehensive coverage of the UK construction contracts.


Further praise for the Market Insights report comes from Mark Oliver, Managing Director of H+H Limited, who says the report is "much more analytical than other forecasts I have seen on the industry."

Chris Harrop, Managing Director of Marshalls adds: "[it] doesn't follow the consensus but it's well thought through and persuasive."
