Balfour Beatty offer advice on how to make the most of a year now promising growth and opportunity.
The exhibition season kicks off next month with Build It LIVE: UK offering products, seminars and advice on building or renovating individual homes.
Ken Livingstone and Kevin McCloud will be speaking at Ecobuild at ExCeL London in March at what looks like an interesting seminar programme held during this major UK exhibition.
We have included Ecobuild previews from Klober and Eurocell profiles below – you can follow the links for full details.
If you are exhibiting and have something new at the show, do send details so we can include them on the Buildingtalk website and perhaps feature them in our special Ecobuild preview promotion next month.
Finally, for all you plumbers out there, here is a link to details about World Plumbing Day on March11th.
