We’d like to thank everyone who attended our 50th anniversary self build event, including Billy Byrne of DIY SOS.

It was a great day celebrating this important milestone, the weather stayed dry and the cake was delicious!

Billy Byrne, the popular electrician who features in the BBC’s DIY SOS programme, joined our celebrations and addressed a champagne reception for the 270 guests.

Billy was very impressed with the high quality of the Scandia-Hus timber frame properties and enjoyed his time looking around our self build show centre, including our newly opened bungalow, ‘The Lodge’.

“Congratulations on your 50 years, it was great to work with you and an honour to celebrate such a milestone.” – Billy Byrne

We also received lovely feedback from our self-builder guests;

“We both really enjoyed the event. It was very interesting to see how the new designs and Scandia-Hus as a whole has evolved from the early days when we built ours. We were particularly impressed by the advancements in design and construction techniques and the overall energy efficiency and we came away with many ideas.” – Bob and Jenny Rutherford 

“We both really enjoyed the day, it was great to meet up again with people who had worked on our house. As well as seeing your new show homes. We would love to do it all again, but we are very happy where we are at present.” – Gary Buckland

“What a thoroughly enjoyable, friendly, and inspiring event… the sense of camaraderie and pride was evident from the whole Scandia Hus team, and I thoroughly enjoyed hearing Neil and Tina tell me how eager they are to work with you all again as soon as they possibly can!” – Lucy Bailey

“Thanks so much for inviting us on Saturday, it was a brilliant day and we loved looking round all the houses. You must feel so proud of what you have created, such an achievement. Somehow we forget all the hard work that must go into it all, so a big well done, and… how lucky are we that we get to build another Scandia!!!” – Jo Jefferies
