In Business: Scape’s boss sees a strong pipeline of public sector work

Mark Robinson, chief executive officer of Scape Group

Mark Robinson on next week’s budget, cladding remediation, frameworks under scrutiny and why his London office is moving

Mark Robinson is in positive mood. The conference call connection is glitchy but he is undeterred: not a problem, everything is good, let’s push on. And, when he talks about how business is going at the public sector framework provider, now in its 15th year, you can perhaps understand his easy-going, unflappable attitude.

While the pandemic has hit some parts of the construction industry hard, the pipeline of work going through his organisation and on to the supply chain has not been significantly dented. Robinson says it tends to hover at around the £8bn mark and at the last quarterly measure it was still at that level, with around £5bn worth of construction work that is actually active.
