NFDC Members Survey Year 5: Autumn 2017

Welcome to the 5th NFDC members survey. Political uncertainty post-Brexit and the plunging value of the pound have taken their toll on the British economy. We wanted to know how the demolition and recycling industry was weathering the storm.

What trends are affecting the sector?
What do NFDC members predict for the coming months?
Are they confident enough to make investment plans or are they waiting for the dust to settle?

We were also curious to find out how members were rising to the sustainability challenge.

What major obstacles have they experienced in meeting recycling targets?
How can clients and contractors make the process easier?

[edit] Features - The future is circular

How demolition has changed and is preparing for an uncertain future, the view of two NFDC member companies.

When people think of demolition, another industry often isn’t far from their minds, waste, but will
demolition and waste always go hand in hand? Both industries have changed in the past 10 years, and are set to change even more in the next 10.

[edit] Charity

PRESIDENT’S CHARITY
This year’s President’s Charity is national children’s charity, Starlight. Each year, Starlight helps over 500,000 seriously ill children in hospitals and hospices across the UK by granting wishes-of-a-lifetime and offering hospital entertainment services. At a time when there is little and sometimes nothing to look forward to, Starlight is there to support children and their families.

2017 has been a significant year for Komatsu. We celebrated 30 years since the opening of the Komatsu UK factory in North East England. Back then we were driven by our determination to understand and respond promptly to the demands of our customers at a local level, and nothing has changed.
