On Thursday 8th June we welcomed Heidi Alexander, Labour’s parliamentary candidate in South Swindon along with Janine Howarth, member for housing with Swindon Borough Council.
We began with a short walking tour of the Centre's educational resources with the team, and provided an overview of the NSBRC's history, current projects and future plans, delivered by Harvey. We then discussed the potential for self build to deliver better, energy efficient homes and the power of employee-ownership to transform businesses.
It was great to meet Heidi & Janine and we thank them both for their time and interest in our company. 🤝🏡
The following blog was written by Evie Pearce, work experience student, during her time with the NSBRC team. This reflects the research and effort they put into their placement, and we're pleased to share it with you.
In this blog, I will be asking five of The NSBRC’s team members various questions about their careers and the rewards they get from them, their journey to get to where they are now, the advice they would give to younger individuals and what they would be doing if they weren’t working in the job titles they have now.
Our Trade Village is home to more than 200 permanent exhibiting partners, selected for their reputable and relevant services and their expertise in the self build and renovation community.
