A renewable energy company is opening a new showroom in Tunbridge Wells.

To celebrate the launch, Green Square offered local children the chance to win an iPad as well as £250 for their school by designing an eco-friendly 'House of the Future'.

Pupils aged seven to 16 were invited to design a home in any style they like, whether a painting, a drawing, done on the computer, or a model made with pipe cleaners and egg cartons.

The winner will attend the official opening of Green Square’s new showroom in London Road tomorrow.

Councillor David Neve, the deputy mayor of Tunbridge Wells and Mrs Jill Neve the deputy mayoress will join other local dignitaries to celebrate the occasion from 1pm.

Pupils from Tunbridge Wells Grammar School for Boys will be delivering a presentation at the event, explaining the types of renewable energy and how they make a positive impact on the environment, and sharing the important views of the next generation.

Paul Smith, centre manager of Green Square Tunbridge Wells, said: “This is a great opportunity for young people in Kent and East Sussex to be creative and really think about renewable energy and building a sustainable living environment.

“We are excited to be launching in the area and have lots lined-up to mark the opening of our new showroom and we very much look forward to welcoming the Grammar School pupils to share their thoughts on renewable energy.

“With the renewable energy industry flourishing and homeowners rapidly switching to green energy alternatives nationally, the demand for technologies such as biomass stoves and boilers, solar and air and ground source heat pumps is increasing in Kent and East Sussex, making it the perfect time to expand our business here.”

The Tunbridge Wells showroom is the newest addition to the Green Square enterprise which opened its flagship store in Raynes Park in London in 2013 and its subsequent showroom on the Scottish Borders in Kelso in March 2015.
