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 proud to share our second Annual Sustainability Report, as part of our ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility and ethical business practice - or as we like to call it: Better Sustainable Business.
Notably, this report marks a key milestone of a 25% reduction in emissions over the past four years, saving 141 tonnes of CO₂ to date.
With temperatures rising across the UK, many homeowners are experiencing overheating rooms, poor indoor air quality and sleepless nights.

We are delighted to announce that Neil Davey has been named our Employee Owner of the Year 2026!
The award was presented in front of the team during our recent Employee Ownership (EO) Day celebrations. The day featured an exhilarating e-karting Grand Prix in Reading, with plenty of laughs, and the opportunity to spend quality time together away from our usual day-to-day roles.
