138 Kingspan: Week 2
Theyβre "getting me confused with someone who gives a damn.β
The inquiry heard more evidence from insulation manufacturers Kingspan. Three of the companyβs managers were questioned about their involvement in the testing and marketing of the companyβs combustible insulation.
The companyβs Technical Manager said a contractor who had concerns about the use of Kingspanβs insulation had confused him βwith someone who gives a damnβ.
The inquiry also revealed that an official in the Department for Communities and Local Government knew about the risks of using combustible insulation on high rises as early as 2014 β three years before the fire at Grenfell Tower.
