Daikin to headline at Grand Designs Live

UK: Daikin has been named as the headline sponsor for Grand Designs Live at London’s ExCeL in May.

Daikin will be stepping into the spotlight at the self-build, renovation and home event with a prime stand location directly opposite the Grand House.

As the demand for sustainable home solutions continues to grow, Daikin says it expects to inspire visitors with its heating and cooling systems.

“Grand Designs has provided decades of inspiration for so many future-focused self-builders and renovators. And as our focus turns to creating low-carbon homes, we aim to contribute to that inspiration by educating visitors during the seminar programme on how we can future-proof our indoor climates with stylish and sustainable heat pump solutions,” said Daikin UK’s head of communications and marketing Giulia Kapp.

Grand Designs Live takes place at ExCeL, London, from 2-5 May.
