Adventurer and broadcaster Ben Fogle to make appearance at NEC’s National Homebuilding & Renovating Show on HTP Group’s stand

Broadcaster, writer and adventurer Ben Fogle will be appearing on the HTP Group stand F127 at the National Homebuilding & Renovating Show at the NEC, Birmingham on Thursday 20 March from 10:00am until 1:00pm, supporting the demonstration of building a pool in your back garden.

Ben will be available for a visitor meet and greet and will be helping to showcase HTP Group’s demonstration swimming pool, which will form the centrepiece of its exciting National Homebuilding & Renovating Show stand.

Lewis Salvidge, managing director of HTP Group, says,

“We’re delighted to welcome our client and friend Ben Fogle to our exhibition stand.  We’re sure his presence at the show will generate considerable interest, as Ben is such an engaging and interesting presenter.

“When we first met Ben, his remit was very clear – we had to meet the needs of his family and way of life when returning home from long travels and demanding work schedules as well as providing a pool that looks like ‘it was meant to be’ within the beautiful gardens of Ben’s home.  We truly believe that we more than met that remit.”

Ben, who has been on our screens for 25 years since his initial appearance in reality show Castaway 2000, has described his swimming pool as a ‘work of art’.  He and his wife Marina aim to use the outdoor pool all year round and Marina has often featured it on her Instagram account.

Over the years, Ben has been a co-presenter for Countryfile as well as a presenter for other programmes on the BBC, ITV, Channel 5 and Sky Discovery.  He has written nine books which have been Sunday Times Best Sellers, summitted Everest, rowed across the Atlantic Ocean and completed an ultra-long marathon across the Sahara Desert.

HTP Group has been established in the swimming pool and hot tub industry for over 25 years.  A qualified carpenter and joiner, project manager and construction manager in civil, mechanical and construction engineering with over 33 years of experience in the field, Lewis has ensured his company has a proven track record in the pool and spa industry.
