The Sustainable Symposium

25th February 2010

Following high demand, a hugely successful Symposium on the important subject Sustainability took place in our Newmarket office on 25th February 2010, with 12 different companies taking part. The day began with a presentation by Keith Johns (Managing Directors), introducing the audience to The Johns Practice.

Vic Grabecki (Senior Architect) continued with the 3 topics for discussion which were: No1 - Current legislation, political frame work and barriers to progress, No2 - The Refurbishment Market and No3 - Passive Design Solutions.

The 3 topics led to an exciting discussion with all attendees getting involved. (Discussion notes to follow shortly)
