Where there's wood there's a way!

Jacquie Duncan, Accsys Technologies PLC
I visited Chelsea yesterday afternoon to get an overview of the Places of Change garden and am amazed at how enthusiastic and busy everyone was. The garden really seems to be coming together and I am both pleased and proud that Accsys is involved in such a worthwhile project.  Our Accoya® wood team has been working with St Mungo’s, the homelessness charity, in their WoodWorks workshop in Harrow Road, West London, and their carpenters have been learning how to use our new sustainable, high technology wood to make the planters and compost bins and other items for the Chelsea garden.  Hopefully this training will translate into key skills they can offer which will enhance their future employment prospects. In any case, it’s given them a real buzz to know their work is going on display in such a prestigious setting and will even be viewed by The Queen! I can’t wait to come back and see the garden when it’s finished and stand back and watch all the great and the good admire everyone’s hard work. Congratulations to all involved on a truly unique and inspiring garden.
