Ventilation manufacturer EnviroVent had its products brought to national attention by contributing them to BBC One’s DIY SOS: The Big Build for Children in Need.
The Harrogate-based company donated six ventilation units to Treetops Hospice in Risley in Derbyshire, which was being built for the show. The EnviroVent ECO dMEV units were used in a new counselling and therapy centre for traumatically bereaved children and young people.
In just 10 days, the DIY SOS team, led by presenter Nick Knowles, created the purpose-built counselling and therapy centre, which is expected will support hundreds of young people in difficult circumstances every year.
EnviroVent key account manager James Garland said:
“It was fantastic to be able to provide assistance for such a wonderful cause. All parties who contributed to this project did some great work, which will benefit the lives of so many children and young people.
Indoor air-quality is so important in keeping people healthy and ventilation systems like these ensure condensation and mould is not able to form and cause an issue.”
Black Sheep in first collaboration
Black Sheep Brewery in Masham has unveiled the fruits of its first ever brewery collaboration.
Ensueño is a joint effort with Piglove Brewing, a Leeds firm whose owners hail from Venezuela.
Ensueño is a Spanish term meaning "to aspire to do something that is unlikely to happen", a sentiment deemed appropriate for brewery start-ups by the two breweries' founders, Paul Theakston and Marcos Ramirez.
The ale was devised by Marcos and Black Sheep's head brewer Alex Brandon-Davies, and features Pilsner malt, wheat and two types of oats, as well as Citra, Mosaic and Sabro hops. Each of Piglove’s beers includes a special ingredient, and Ensueño's is the dried coffee cherry, cáscara.
Ensueño will be on tap soon at the Black Sheep Brewery Visitor Centre in Masham, The Three Legged Mare in York, and Piglove by the River in Leeds.
