Grenfell cladding firm will not attend victims’ event

The firm which supplied the cladding on the outside of Grenfell Tower has failed to take up an invite to an event where those impacted can speak directly to organisations many hold responsible for the deadly fire.

The testimony week, from January 23-26 in London, is being held to give bereaved, survivors and residents an opportunity to “speak directly to representatives from the defendant organisations that many of them hold responsible for the fire, as well as for some people to a wider audience”.
