Fairgrove asks some high-tech questions
East Midlands, [15 September 06] East Midlands-based new homes developer Fairgrove Homes is continuing its commitment to listening to local stakeholders by holding its second focus group meeting later this month.
The meeting, to be held at the firm’s Bramcote development in Nottingham on 25th September 2006, will focus on the types of high-tech gadgetry new home buyers are interested in.
“People expect far more from their homes than ever before,” says Steve Midgley, managing director of Fairgrove Homes. “Homes are personal spaces where people live, work and play – and the way we use our homes is rapidly changing. We want to find out what types of technology people want in their new home. For example, would they prefer a simple property with few technical modifications? Or would they like a home network? What are their views on future-proofing their homes so that they work as well for them in five years time as they do today? We will look at some of the options available, such as intelligent wiring for telephones, faxes, computers, televisions and audio systems, and ask guests for their ‘high-tech wish-list’.
Fairgrove is looking for volunteers, such as IT specialists, public sector employees, estate agents, teachers, chartered surveyors, local councillors, hairdressers, salespeople, creatives, stay-at-home parents and SME owners to join the discussion. “This is a great opportunity to get your voice heard – and ensure that your wish-list becomes a key part of the new homes of tomorrow,” says Steve. “Once again, Derby-based McConnells Group will be organising the evening and will ensure the event stays focused, informative and useful for any stakeholders in the new homes industry.”
To thank those attending this focus group, Fairgrove will be serving up wines and a buffet to volunteers. An executive summary of the key findings of the focus groups will also be made available.
