A Year at a Glance

A Year at a Glance

Highlights, Insights & A Moment to Breathe

As we wrap up this year’s Able Canopies Insights series, I’ve been looking back at the topics we explored together throughout 2025. Each month focused on a real challenge or trend within the built environment—from sustainability and low-carbon construction to building administration, safety, design partnerships, and seasonal site considerations.

Our aim this year was simple: to share meaningful industry insights while showing the depth of knowledge, professionalism, and experience behind Able Canopies and the products we design and manufacture.

Throughout the year we highlighted:

  • The importance of sustainable building and the triple bottom line
  • The role of accurate drawings, specifications, and cost planning
  • Safety on-site and the value of clear communication
  • Low-carbon strategies, modular builds, and early environmental education
  • Human-centred design and long-term project excellence
  • Seasonal considerations, regional focuses, and maintenance planning

Each edition was designed to support architects, specifiers, contractors and those across the school estate with practical, relevant insight, something I hope came through month after month.

Product Highlights of 2025

This year also saw the launch of three new solutions that expanded our product offering:

It brings together everything Able Canopies offers in a clear, streamlined way, and it’s the perfect companion for anyone working on upcoming projects.

Looking Ahead to 2026

While I’m still exploring the direction of next year’s Insights series, one thing is certain: We’ll continue to share content that informs, supports, and adds value, without overwhelming you.

With our new physical brochure in hand and plenty of conversations happening behind the scenes, I’m excited to build on what we started this year.

For now, consider this a gentle encouragement to stay connected, keep reading, and continue engaging with us as we shape the next chapter.

A Moment to Breathe

As the year winds down, I hope you’re able to take a mindful pause. Construction moves fast, especially as teams push to wrap up before the break, but stepping back to recharge is just as important as any project deadline. Thank you for reading, sharing, and engaging with our Insights throughout 2025. Your support has helped grow this series into something meaningful.

From Myself and the team, we wish you a restful, well-deserved festive break and a strong start to 2026
