The launch of Timber Expo as the innovation showcase for timber construction is exactly what the industry needs says Frame Wise MD Simon Orrells.  Simon explains why Timber Expo is the start of a new dawn in timber exhibiting.

“The UK construction industry is littered with exhibitions aimed at driving innovation and sustainability but quite frankly none of the regular events serve the timber industry well.  We see Timber Expo as the flagship event for our business and for that reason we have grabbed the opportunity to fully embrace every opportunity to support this launch year.  From my experience of other construction exhibitions, it’s dominated by the big players in the construction industry that have a vested interest in traditional methods of construction and its quite difficult for the timber sector to get their voices heard.  Anybody with an interest in designing and building structures that will perform in cost, Flexibility and sustainability terms should visit Timber Expo.”

Frame Wise is building the seminar theatre at Timber Expo and is using this as an opportunity to demonstrate its capability as one of the UK’s leading timber frame manufacturers.  Simon continues: “We’ve got some very clear messages to communicate at Timber Expo and we really want to use this as an opportunity to engage with forward thinking contractors and clients who can see the huge advantages of timber frame.  We will be showcasing some new systems & latest innovation that will set Frame Wise apart from the competition.

“There is no doubt that we will be able to showcase the advantages of timber frame at Timber Expo. Let’s hope it’s well attended and becomes the annual event that showcases the very best the timber industry has to offer.”
