Kingspan employees’ text exchange questioned insulation product’s fire performance
Staff at Kingspan, a company that made some of the combustible material used on Grenfell tower, joked in 2016 that claims about how safe the product was were “all lies” and it should be scrapped.
Text messages sent the year before the June 2017 disaster that claimed 72 lives, show the employees believed the company was lying to the market about the fire performance of the “shit product” but one of them appeared to think that was funny, the public inquiry heard.
