Apr 2009: Grand Designs 2009 and the launch of the GBR campaign
The GBR campaign, with partners WWF, UK Green Building Council, Energy Savings Trust and Grand Designs Magazine, is launched with a seminar between Kevin and the government’s Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change Ed Miliband to debate the future of the UK’s housing stock
The GBR campaign ran from 2009 to 2012 and ended with the passing of the green deal legislation.
Here are our successes
The campaign was set up three years ago with the ultimate aim of making it easier for owners to eco-refurb their homes. And to a massive extent we achieved just that. The Green Deal, which is a government policy which will enables all of us to refurb our homes with no upfront costs is a game changer and we are proud to have been a catalyst and indeed on occasion cattle prod to that happening. So now when the landscape of home refurb is changing dramatically, it is time for us to take a back seat too and let the politicking end and the real world Great British Refurb commence.
