On Thursday 5th October, Team NSBRC attended The National Sustainability Awards, in its second year, held at the Waldorf Hotel in London. We feel honoured to have attended this prestigious awards ceremony, especially as a small, employee-owned company up against household names such as NatWest, Lombard and OVO Energy. The panel of judges looked at submissions from organisations demonstrating impact and innovation across all sectors, and how they can help create a greener future for the generations to come.
Each year The National Self Build & Renovation Centre produces a survey in partnership with the National Custom & Self Build Association (NaCSBA).
The 2023 survey marks our third edition and was completed by 759 people. This data provides a detailed view of those planning to, or currently undertaking substantial homebuilding projects.
Our Trade Village is home to over 200 permanent exhibitors, chosen for their respected and relevant offering and their knowledge and understanding of the self build and renovation community.

On Tuesday 14th November, the NSBRC hosted NaCSBA’s annual Custom & Self Build Conference from 9:30am – 4:30pm, following on from the success of the previous year. We were delighted to once again support this event which offered an essential day of information for organisations working - or looking to move into - the delivery and development of custom and self build homes.

Across Friday 13th & Saturday 14th October, we held our Autumn edition of The National Self Build & Renovation Show.
It was wonderful to welcome many visitors through our doors for the final show of the year; to see people engage with our programme of seminars, alongside the 1:2:1 consultations and experts on their stands, feels as rewarding as ever. It's always encouraging to see some familiar faces, too, showing the Centre continues to be a helpful resource throughout the lifetime of a project.
Our tails were wagging over the summer as we supported the Big Dog Art Trail in Swindon. The Trail concluded with the thrill of a grand auction, and we were determined to bring our Swindog, 'Sparky', home. We were delighted that we were able to make a significant bid to, not only secure Sparky’s return to the NSBRC, but also provide a financial boost to such a deserving charity.
