Len has said why he wanted to join Lamella MMC and spread the word about building in Timber. Passion for real change…..Here’s what he said:

“Climate destruction is real, happening now and carbon neutral is/must be achievable. We all must do something to slow or stop climate change. 

Young people now and in the future must have a future: a World in which to breathe, to grow and to love.  

My initial focus is to help, support, commission and build education stunning establishments for pupils and people with disabilities to support their learning and living abilities.    

That’s it. 

Enough of the naysayers. We, all of us, must make a stand somewhere. 

Mine is with expert people across the World who want to make construction really, positively reduce carbon emissions more than significantly: now. 

My initial focus is to help, support, commission and build stunning education places for pupils and people with disabilities.  

Using sustainable wood, designed by passionate architects we can create biophilic positive ‘learning and living’ environments. These buildings create an atmosphere where well-being is very evident: this is confirmed by oodles of data across the World.   

So, use wood where you can in modern construction, always. We may be dedicated wood ‘Rebels’ now, but the ‘CLT Revolution’ is gathering pace. We are starting to build timber buildings that reduce our global carbon emissions.  

This is not recycling but cycling new carbon. And we hope and expect that today’s rebels will be tomorrow’s mainstream practitioners. 

So what, you say?!  

I say, not only can we can help drive the essential, planet saving, human well- being that is world proven by using Cross Laminated Timber [CLT], as a significant element in modern construction, we can and will improve the quality of our buildings and give us all better schools to learn in, better buildings to recover in, better offices to work in and better homes to live in. 

In UK we are fettered by carbon emitting, non- replaceable building solutions that take a long time to build with waste, cause immense disruption, waste, time and are not carbon zero or minus carbon Zero.  

We don’t need to do this. There is a better way. We used to be world leaders in this technology.  The rest of the World is ahead now. There is no reason why”.
