Well known and highly respected within the Scottish construction industry, Ed brings over 20 years’ experience in building products and will represent Ecological Building Systems at this year’s BE-ST Fest in Glasgow, where professionals will have the opportunity to meet him and discuss sustainable building solutions.

Based in Scotland, Ed will work as part of Ecological Building Systems’ Technical Specification team, which has a network of specialist advisers working with architects, builders and homeowners across the UK.

Ed has a strong background in technical support, product management and business development. Over the course of his career, he has worked extensively with natural fibre insulation, airtightness solutions and thermal performance design, helping professionals deliver high-quality and sustainable buildings in Scotland.

In his new role, Ed will advise on technical specifications, evaluate customer drawings to optimise thermal performance and airtightness, deliver CPDs and provide both pre- and after-sales support. His work will help ensure that projects achieve high standards of energy efficiency and building performance.

Neil Turner, Ecological Building Systems’ technical specification manager, explained: “We are delighted to welcome Ed to the team. He is very experienced and well known within the insulation industry in Scotland and will play an important role in ensuring customers receive the best possible advice on sustainable building design.”

Ed Anthony said: “I was attracted to the role at Ecological Building Systems as the company is well positioned to support the needs of the UK building sector in the drive towards sustainable construction. I was already familiar with Ecological Building Systems, having worked in the insulation industry for many years and was aware of the company’s commitment to excellence in technical guidance and outstanding customer care.”

Ecological Building Systems was established to help self-builders, home renovators and construction professionals to achieve ‘Better Building’ by adopting a ‘Fabric First’ approach to design, using more natural materials to optimise building performance and durability.

Over the last few years, the business has grown significantly through supplying innovative, sustainable, high-quality ecological building materials, backed up by expert advice and product training.
