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. 🤝🏡
We are delighted to announce that Katy Ashcroft is our ‘Employee Owner of the Year’!
We presented this award at our recent 'EO Day' celebration, a day which Katy had organised for our whole team at Go Ape - a fellow Employee Owned Company. This was a wonderful day, full of fun and team building activities, allowing colleagues to spend time with team-mates they might not work with every day. This was the perfect moment to celebrate her outstanding contribution to the team over the past year and beyond.
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. Join us at upcoming events to meet our friendly exhibitors and explore their fantastic stands during your next visit!

On Monday 23rd June, we celebrated our 11th Employee Ownership Day at Go Ape, another proudly employee-owned business. We spent the day doing tree-top challenges, team building, and plenty of laughs - all set against the beautiful backdrop of Swinley Forest, and it was the perfect place to reflect on what makes our team so special: collaboration, shared purpose - and a good dose of courage at points!
