Wood Saints Launch Event
Event Information
Description
Join us for the opening of Wood Saints
Wood Saints is a new community wood recycling business based in Wolverhampton which aims to save resources and create jobs for local people.
Being launched by (ASAN) All Saints Action Network, Wood Saints will collect useable unwanted wood from building sites, companies and homeowners and prepare it for sale - creating training and job opportunities for people in wood recycling. A win-win for our environment and our community.
Grand opening - Tuesday 20th March
Wood Saints has been two years in the planning and development. We're now ready to open our doors to customers and partners.
TV celebrity and local business-man Jay Blades, of the BBC's Money for Nothing programme, will be our guest speaker and unveil 'The Wood Depot', our 10,000 sq ft facility which has been transformed from an old industrial unit into the home of Wood Saints and an oasis of creativity and inspiration that houses a timber yard, wood workshop and retail store for selling unique products and furniture.
