What's so different about ProDEA then?
When plucky DEA, Charlotte Lawrance, first petitioned Government to end First Day Marketing back in February 2008, little did she realise, then, how it would lead to the formation of ProDEA, a not-for-profit organisation aiming to promote the interests of Domestic Energy Assessors (DEAs) under a "kitemark" of professional standards.
Her obvious passion attracted the attention of fellow DEAs following her post on the Home Inspector Forum back in July 2008 - Is it just me? - which generated 30 pages of discussion.
That topic sowed the seed, spurring others like co-podcast-guest, Kevin Archer of arc-deas.com, to help Charlotte develop an action plan to address the amassed concerns raised in the thread, until two months later, on 24th September 2008, ProDEA was born.
Currently, ProDEA is a working group of able DEAs setting the foundations for a targeted launch in January 2009.
Kevin Archer and Charlotte take time out to discuss business.

And loads more obviously.
