The shape of things to come

Article Abstract:

The proposed construction employers' organisation Newco will take a different form dependent upon its goal. The group may opt solely to eradicate duplicated effort and save money or it may seek to present a unified industry stance. The Federation of Civil Engineering Contractors and the BEC could maintain their existing agenda but with more co-operation. Alternatively, a Chief Executive could be appointed to head a joint controlling council which would lobby government, with the council incorporating virtually autonomous sections that would focus on specialist services.

Turning up the volume

Article Abstract:

The British Major Contractors Group (MCG) has announced its intention to hire a chief executive who will be devoted to providing firm managerial direction to the group. MCG has previously been managed on a part-time basis which has been ineffective because the day-to-day management of its structure and functions is obviously required. The new role demonstrates the group's serious intentions towards achieving a unified approach between the Building Employers Confederation, the Federation of Civil Engineering Contractors and the Federation of Master Builders.

Speak your weight

Article Abstract:

The Construction Products Association was pioneered by Michael Ankers, who has successfully brought the work of the Building Material Producers (BMP) and the Alliance of Construction Product Suppliers (ACPS) together in an organisation which is thought to cover 40% of total construction output associated with construction products. The new organisation is expected to play a key role in the construction products industry.
