44 APPOINTMENTS & NEWS; BUILDING FABRIC Designer Contracts leads the way
Designer Contracts is spearheading a new industry initiative aimed at reversing the crisis level shortage of skilled fitters. On January 17, 2022, the company took on its first cohort of 10, 16 to 18-year-old apprentices under a new block release training scheme launched as a joint venture between FITA and Webs Training Ltd. The apprentices will attend the FITA training centre for practical training for one week in every eight. In
between – over the course of the three-year apprenticeship scheme – they will train with one of Designer Contracts’ employed or sub-contract fitters. FITA is also creating a bespoke Designer Contracts’ training standard so the company can assess and further develop its trained, employed fitters.

www.designercontracts.com Siderise launches mullion overclad system
Siderise Special Products has launched the new SIDERISE® MC System — a decorative mullion liner designed to provide a simple yet robust solution for enhancing the acoustic performance, or acoustic and fire performance, of curtain wall facade systems.
Suitable for both ‘stick’ and ‘unitised’ curtain wall facades, the system is ideal for projects where internal acoustic upgrades to the mullion are not practical. This includes situations where the internal layout is unknown during construction or when fit-out or operation has already begun. Its simple installation process allows it to be installed quickly with minimal disruption to occupiers, without the need to empty spaces of furniture, etc.
