On what is the last day of Summer term for most school children here in the UK, thoughts usually turn to the long holiday period but this has obviously been anything but a usual year. With the challenges of home working and home schooling to consider, many of us have been adapting to new ways of working and learning new skills.

As Boris Johnson took his first daily press conference yesterday, since returning to work, much of the talk over the past few days has been speculation around how the lockdown might be lifted. Indeed the search term ‘when will lockdown end in the UK’ has been trending all week.

Whilst the Prime Minister noted we are “past the peak and on the downward slope,” we are clearly some way off restrictions being lifted as the press conference touched more on a “roadmap” towards a gradual exit from the lockdown.

The awards keep coming for David Salisbury’s orangeries and oak garden rooms! The winners of the ‘Best of Houzz Design 2020’ awards have just been announced and we’re honoured to have won this award for the fourth time in the past five years.

As part of our continuous drive to improve every aspect of our orangeries and garden rooms business here at David Salisbury, a focus throughout every year is on our most valuable assets: our entire team.

Whether this be investing in on-going training opportunities or effectively communicating the latest news and direction of the business along with, of course, clearly setting out our strategy to everyone involved – the topic of HR and employee well-being is vitally important to us.

While the big news today is clearly our exit from the European Union – don’t worry this latest post is not about Brexit(!) – we wanted to talk about something hopefully more inspiring: raising money for charity. After the two best years in our company’s history in 2018 and 2019, designing and installing orangeries and garden rooms all around the country, we have also found time to fund raise for some great causes.
