 | | RIDGEONS HELP TOMMY WALSH BUILD ECO-HOUSE | | | Ridgeons Group | | 29/08/2007 | | | Celebrity TV builder Tommy Walsh took on an ambitious project to construct an eco-friendly house for £60K in just 60 days, and Ridgeons was on hand to help as a supplier of building materials.
The project, located in March, Cambridgeshire, was completed in July of this year and is the subject of a forthcoming television series on Discovery Real Time called “Tommy Walsh’s Eco House which starts 3rd October at 9pm, Ridgeons, who have had a presence in March since 1946, were an obvious choice to supply building materials to the site, due to their high stock levels and reliable service.
“Tommy has been to our March branch a number of times,” said branch manager David Galloway. “On the first occasion he even brought his film crew to film materials being loaded onto his vehicle in the yard. He also filmed around our builders merchants counter.”
David continued, “Tommy appeared to be impressed by our stocks and knowledgeable service, and his team have opened an account with us. Also, he likes the family aspect of the Ridgeons’ business and feels strongly about our independence.”
Tommy is excited about the prospects of creating eco-friendly homes that people trying to get onto the property ladder can afford and even build for themselves. The house may ultimately be bought by Fenland District Council as a showcase for local builders and home-owners, as an example of environmentally conscious building practice. | |
