Timber garden products specialist M&M Timber brought a splash of colour to Ecobuild with a stand comprising its “Kalahari” gazebo, flanked by raised flower beds.

The company is a regular exhibitor at Glee, the exhibition for the garden products sector, but this was its first outing at Ecobuild.

“We’d heard good things about the show and we wanted to promote our machine-rounded timber construction and landscaping products to architects and specifiers,” said Fraser Hall, business development executive.

M&M Timber uses “micronized” timber and Osmose helped out on the stand, promoting the MicroPro treatment.

“It’s been a fantastic show for us with a real mix of visitors, including councils,” said Mr Hall. “We’ve been pleasantly surprised by the number of leads we’ve generated and have seen existing clients and strengthened our ties with them.

“And,” he added, “ours has been the most photographed stand at Ecobuild.”
