The old phrase timing is everything couldn’t have rung more true for us at Keepmoat a couple of weeks ago.

For the past two years, we have been quietly getting on with developing our eco-refurbishment product. Working with our partners to test new sustainable methods while trusting old ones, has, we believe, helped us to pioneer what will become an industry growth area in the next couple of years.

And those that know us well will vouch that we seldom shout about what we do, preferring instead to take the quiet approach. You could say that’s our Yorkshire roots.

Having said that, we were delighted to have been approached to partner on the Grand Designs Great British Refurb campaign and to collaborate with the 10:10 campaign which has just recently been launched.

With our strong track record in bringing homes up to a Decent Homes standard and our commitment to the environment and sustainable refurbishment, we were not going to turn down the opportunity to work with 10:10, which has fast become the UK’s biggest climate change movement.

And we are genuinely excited to be part of the Great British Refurb campaign. We appreciate that this sponsorship will provide us with an opportunity to showcase our eco-refurbishment product to a wide market however our commitment to this campaign goes far beyond that.

We are looking forward to the next few months and getting our sleeves rolled up to play a significant role in a campaign that will help to change the ordinary person’s preconceptions about the affordability and benefits of eco refurbishment. This is the start of something major.
