- Pennyhill Park site building utilising insulation materials
- Inquiry found Kingspan showed ‘persistent dishonesty’
The Rugby Football Union has been urged to reconsider using materials made by an insulation company, found to have behaved with “persistent dishonesty” by the final report of the Grenfell Tower inquiry, on a new training facility, the Guardian can reveal.
The RFU is building a new “flexible multi-purpose space” as well as a storage facility at Pennyhill Park – England’s Bagshot training base since 2003 – and, in planning submissions seen by the Guardian, the union demonstrated its intention to use materials made by the Irish company Kingspan. It is understood work began at the end of August and included the delivery of Kingspan materials.
