Name | Job title | Company name | Message of support | On behalf of |
---|---|---|---|---|
Rod Fox | M.D. | Revaluetech Ltd. | "Our Company has spent 7 years to develop a new manufacturing process to produce a wide range of composite products to replace a wide range of concrete and wood products. These have a exceptional physical and environmental benefits and will fit well within the "Create a vision for the built environment of the UK with sustainability at its heart". Realistically though the industry needs to show firm backing for their use within this manifesto if it is to be treated seriously." | Themself & company |
Bola Abisogun FRICS | Founder / Executive Director | Urbanis Limited | "I've observed the building #agenda15 manifesto and concur with the notable aspirations. Notwithstanding, greater clarity is required of the proposed funding streams; however no amount of funding [ring-fenced or otherwise] will reinstate the well documented loss(es) suffered by the sector particularly by those that remain heavily under-utilised and in some cases, completely ignored. Having the requisite 'skills & innovation' in place will be key to a successful and sustainable sector, moving forward." | Themself & company |
Kimble Marfleet | Business Dev Manager UK & Ireland | RPM-Belgium & Vandex | "Investment in infrastructure is extremely important and the only way to enable the UK to re establish itself as a world leader. Examples of success derived from infrastructure investment are clear to see in Singapore, Hong Kong and UAE." | Themself |
Peter Haddock | Account Director | Edson Evers | "2015 is a critical time for construction and thanks to Agenda 15 we have a clear and concise manifesto from the industry itself, that can be taken to all political parties." | Themself |
Roy Pope | Retired | "Agenda 15 proposals form a foundation stone for driving the country's economic recovery, providing much needed and better infrastructure, housing etc. and generating opportunities for skills training and apprenticeships addressing youth unemployment problems. The proposals seem very reasonable and will prove productive for our nation and its people." | Themself | |
Michael Steel | Director | Thomson Gray | "My only one reservation on what was published in the magazine is the adjustment of policy to achieve the 200,000 houses target. I fear that with initiatives such as that recently proposed for first time buyers that this could lead to policy changes which allow the construction of sub-standard housing stock which will become a problem for future generations. The quality of new housing stock must be maintained to current standards as a minimum." | Themself |
Philip Youell | Director of Communications | Arcadis | "The industry can be fragmented and parts of it self interested, it will and should unite behind practical solutions that improve the quality of life for the nation. Now is an important time to do so." | Themself & company |
Phil Cresswell | EC Harris | "The 2015 General Election is critical to the country, its economy, its recovery and the provision of the infrastructure needed to allow business to grow and public services to reform. I support Agenda 2015 and the positive work Building is doing to land key messages with those senior leaders in the major parties." | Themself & company | |
Jim Martin | Senior Partner | Martin Arnold | "If, as an industry, we fail to do much more on training and skills, three things will happen: we will import the skills we need from abroad exacerbating the existing problems in society which surround immigration, we will be condemning a vast swath of our people for a life of unemployment and we will deskill our industry further reducing its national importance. Agenda 15 must be embraced by the industry and the Government." | Themself & company |
Nick Peel | Director | H+E Associates Ltd | "This simple 8-point manifesto, with it's impressive provenance, is a clear guide for government on how the construction industry can best serve the built environment needs of the nation." | Themself & company |
David Grove | Director | Ramboll | "Our country needs a non party politics long term plan to deliver sustainable construction projects." | Themself |
Angelo Ciribini | Prof. | Università degli Studi di Brescia | "The Construction Industry wants to be re-shaped close to the Manufacturing Paradigms." | Themself |
