Alex Field (Energywise) and Jackie Oliver (THI)
Alex Field of Precision Energy Assessors (AKA Energywise) and Jackie Oliver of Jackie Oliver & Co Estate Agents (AKA THI) are two widely-known women in the DEA community who know their minds, and don't mind speaking them freely.
Which is just as well because there has been much to speak about this week.

Grant Shapps: - Tory Shadow Housing Minister - and his call for a meeting of Domestic Energy Assessors.
Gordon Brown's speech and new green policy announcements: (I used an incorrect name to refer to the new Green Homes Service) What about privacy? What about compulsion?
