In this episode of Reclamation Time a trio consisting of Becky, Brian and Thornton have a frivolous rambling topical newsy chat at the futureBuild exhbition held in Excel London. Here are links to elucidate some of those about which we spoke, in order of mention.

• SPREC - le Syndicat Professionnel du Réemploi dans la Construction - the new French reclamation trade association which was launched last week
• The final FCRBE - a five year EU project - Facilitating the Circulation of Reclaimed Building Elements - Salvo, of which Becky and Thornton are directors, was the major UK partner, and to which Brian Musphy contributed,. The report is available in French and English - 'Welcome to the Reuse Office!'
• The SALVO POCKET GUIDE - the new edition, currently in preparation, will feature the Salvo Restorers listings
• HiiGuru
• Washbox
• Graphenstone - today (19 March 2024) the UK website of this Spanish product states that it contains graphene - 'whose fibres provide the coatings and paints of Graphenstone with innovative qualities: thermal conductivity, greater toughness, flexibility, strength and uniformity. This nanotechnology compound acts as a structural support mesh at the molecular level' (shouldn’t this be ‘atomic’?) 'which translates into greater durability and, therefore, lower maintenance and more significant savings.'
• ASBP - Alliance for Sustainable Building Products
• REMO is the new trading name for CCORRN – Cambridgeshire Community Reuse and Recycling Network and the REMO Charitable Trust. Remo paints
• Rolling Stones 1966 - Paint it black Mck, Brian Jones on sitar, and those crazy chicks
• Potted History of timber treatment from 1600BCE to the present day
