An award-winning exhibition stand designed by Chetwoods, in collaboration with Interface and sponsored by Misubishi Electric UK, for the UK Green Building Council at Futurebuild 2024 will be starring again at this year’s event at London’s Excel on 4-6th March.

As the winner of the Best Sustainable Stand award last year, the stand’s reuse will showcase the theme of Futurebuild 2025: Impact, and putting circularity at the heart of what we all do.

We are committed to reducing environmental impact and promoting circularity. All materials used in the stand were sourced second-hand, or from accredited UKGBC members who support the transition towards a regenerative built environment system. The shell is constructed entirely from reclaimed timber and OSB board, primarily sourced from the Community Wood Recycling Network.

Between 14.30 and 15.30 on March 5th, Chetwoods’ Thrive team of sustainability experts will be running one of its acclaimed drop-in Material Matters Workshops on the UKGBC stand. During 2024 the roll out of these workshops reached over 500 industry stakeholders, including colleagues, architects, developers, planners, artists and students.

This interactive workshop will address embodied carbon, circular economy principles, sustainable material innovations and understanding green building certifications. By engaging attendees in hands-on activities and demystifying industry terminology, the Thrive team aims to empower participants to make more informed decisions in their own work.
