GBE Event Feedback

I promised that I would feedback from the event survey from Build Right, Insulate Right, Solar Tight.

In general people marked the presentation as either good or excellent.

Here are some of the comments:

Presenter was very good.
It was at times difficult to concentrate on the presentation with all the brochures etc being passed round, however, it was obvious the passion and knowledge that the speaker had of the subject.
Speaker was clearly an expert in his field.
If only I had known about dense fibre board as a means of insulating my roof against thermal radiation 10 years ago, instead of listening to the (plastic insulation manufacturer) sales blurb, we’d have a much cooler loft conversion.
Brian was extremely knowledgeable about the subject which captured the attendees interaction.
A privilege to spend time with an expert in the field.
Very interactive with the use of samples, books, further information locations and access to PowerPoint.

Thanks again for doing this presentation – great feedback!

Must consider the interruption to concentration caused by circulation of sample and books
