THE GREEN QUESTION February 23, 2010

Jewson, the UK's leading sustainable builders merchant, is looking for the UK construction industry's first "Green Genius". The company's stand at Ecobuild (Earl's Court 2-4 March) will play host to The Green Question, a live quiz where visitors will be put in the spotlight and given two minutes to answer multiple choice questions focussing on sustainability within the built environment.

A leader-board on the stand will display the best scores and give each contestant an "eco-rating". The Green Question will be streamed on the internet allowing friends and colleagues of the contestant not attending the exhibition to watch the performance live. Those unable to get to the Ecobuild exhibition will also have the chance to demonstrate their knowledge by taking on the challenge of an on-line version of The Green Question in the week leading up the exhibition.

The winners will win an exclusive trip to Finland, courtesy of UPM where they will see the latest sustainable forestry harvesting, milling and production of sustainable hardwood faced Wisa®-Twin plywood in action.

Jewson will be exhibiting at Ecobuild for the third year running supported by sister SGBD companies including Pasquill, International Timber, Graham and Minster.

Bradley Moore, Marketing Services Director at Jewson comments: "Whilst The Green Question is a bit of fun it does have a serious message - the increasing importance of a thorough knowledge and understanding of the ever growing number of new products, methodologies and legislation within our industry. Our aim at Jewson is to help customers understand and comply with all the new and existing environmental regulations and legislation. The Green Question helps us to do this in a light-hearted way. Other areas of our stand will demonstrate our strong record of providing full sustainable product and service solutions to all sectors of the market through the use of active product displays and case studies."
