Everybody’s talking about it...
What the celebrities say:
“It’s fantastic to see so many people supporting this event. With the very real threat of global warming, we need to reflect on the way we live our lives, and the steps we can take to minimise our impact on the environment. Homes for Good is a great way to start!  It’s possible to make a real difference by carefully and ethically choosing how we build, insulate and run our houses. What’s great about this exhibition is that it runs the whole gamut of sustainable solutions – from design and build management systems to straw bales. It’s also a really tactile show – my son loves it!” Kevin McCloud (Grand Designs, Channel 4)

“As owner of an ecohome, I am very excited to be coming to Homes for Good [2006]. It is so refreshing that the event is growing stronger by the year and that more and more members of the public are being drawn to sustainable living.”
Penney Poyzer (No Waste Like Home, BBC2)

What the exhibitors say:
“It’s been well worth coming to the exhibition. It’s been a good opportunity to promote what we are doing and we have a long list of follow-up contacts. Hundreds of people have spoken to us over the two days and we have been very pleased with the level of interest.”

“People especially wanted to know about the timber framing, sheep’s wool insulation and the sewerage treatment plants that will eventually replace the traditional septic tanks. We also had our products manager at the show, looking at the market, and picking up valuable new ideas.” Bradfords Building Supplies

“We won a large order from the Eden Project as a result of exhibiting at Homes for Good in Taunton last year, and we’re already getting
restoration enquiries as a result of this year’s show. We have also received a particularly good enquiry about a potential new- build as a result of people seeing the model house and being able to visualise what a full-size home could look like. Of the shows that we attend, this is the best.” The Cob Block Company

“Exhibiting at Homes for Good is a fantastic opportunity to show people the quality of our work and let them interact with all the elements of our building first hand.  People tend to be surprised at the quality of the sustainable, natural products that are available, and how easy it is to avoid using toxic materials which are detrimental to the environment and our health and often there are much better alternatives” Pioneer Environmental Builders

“Homes for Good perfectly mirrors our supports as a company for sustainability and well-managed timber, which we have shown with our achievements of both FSC and PEFC status. It was a pleasure to be part of such a big event, promoting sustainable products from all over the country.  As a company specialising in sustainable timber, it was refreshing to see so many exhibitors with such a range of skills, all working towards the same goal of sustainability.  It just shows how much easier it is becoming for people to adopt sustainable methods, on any number of levels, so that we leave a smaller footprint on the earth.” Director, James Latham Ltd
