A Message from the Chairman...

2002 has been a busy year with turnover up by 27%.  We have recruited some new members of staff and several ‘old’ ones have achieved promotions, namely Richard McAree, Matthew Sellwood and Mark Lancaster. 

Our branch office in Huddersfield, opened last year, is now well established and Elizabeth Simmons, Project Director at Huddersfield has been successful in business development, winning new clients and some large projects. 

Our work continues to be driven by new regulation of the wastes management industry and in the case of our local authority clients, the need for Best Value.   We have seen a steep increase in advice on waste strategies and achieving recycling targets.  For our engineering clients we have introduced nuclear density gauges (NDG) for our construction quality assurance staff to provide a faster alternative to traditional clay testing methods. 

The Board has recently decided the company should start looking overseas for suitable projects and we are actively pursuing some exciting possibilities.  I hope that next year our Annual Review will include stories from abroad.
