MEET THE TEAM
The February issue of Build It magazine always lands right at the turn of the year – so you could say it heralds a time of seasonal reflection and the opportunity for a fresh start. And maybe, just maybe, it will be the spark that pushes you to finally take on that bespoke home building project you’ve been dreaming of. See page 18 for our tips on how to get started!
This edition marks a big change for Build It, too, as our longeststanding expert, Mike Dade, forges a new path into retirement (a busy one at that, with two properties to do up!). A fixture of the magazine since the early 1990s, Mike has readily shared his invaluable land and planning knowledge through articles, visits to readers’ plots and oneon-one Q&A sessions with attendees at the Build It Live exhibitions. He will be much missed, but the show must go on and I’m delighted to let you know the fantastic Julia Riddle and Martin Gaine will be taking on the mantle for the magazine and events going forward.
