we featured the news release John Brash - over a century of sustainability from
John Brash and Co: "John Brash and Co, the specialist timber importer and manufacturer will be demonstrating its full range of sustainable timber products at this year's Ecobuild show".
In February 2008, we covered the news from Knauf Drywall
concerning its Green jargon explained
- take a look at Knauf Drywall puts green jargon into context
