Feedback from attendees
“We would like to say a huge thank you to MyDek who came to our office to deliver the ‘Navigating the Building Safety Act’ CPD to the team. We all found it really interesting and useful.
There is a lot of information out there about the new regulations, but the presenter explained everything in a really clear, easy to digest way. Compared to a lot of other talks about the Building Safety Act, we felt this session was the best we’ve attended so far, as it was concise but gave a good overview of everything and cultivated a great opportunity for discussion amongst the team. We would highly recommend!”
