The fallout from the government's axeing of Green Deal funding took another grim turn this week, with two installers - Mark Group and Climate Energy - falling into administration. The fate of the companies, given the government's high profile cuts to subsidies for the Green Deal and other retrofit initiatives, and before that the much maligned delays in the programme gaining any traction, may not come as a shock to many. But the fact that these companies between them employed more than 1,000 staff in what wasjust three years ago lauded as a growth area for UK expertise, is just one sobering reason to again consider the fiasco around green retrofit in the UK.
