Considerate Constructors Scheme seeks new Board


Directors Newly appointed Scheme Executive Chairman Isabel Martinson to recruit new Board Directors to take Scheme to the ‘next level’ London, United Kingdom, 19 September 2016:


The Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) – the national Scheme to improve the image of the construction industry - is recruiting for new Board Directors. Isabel Martinson, who was appointed as Executive


Chairman of the Scheme in July 2016, is looking for senior representatives from within and outside of the construction industry to expand the CCS to move to the ‘next level’, to further enhance the construction industry’s image and reputation. The CCS is an independent organisation formed in 1997. Since its formation, it


has significantly altered the approach the construction industry takes to those affected by its activities, the construction workforce, and the impact construction has on the local environment. It has achieved wide recognition and is highly regarded and respected by those aware of and involved in the Scheme. Construction sites, companies and suppliers voluntarily register with the


Scheme and agree to abide by the Scheme’s Code of Considerate Practice. The Code commits those registered with the Scheme to care about appearance, respect the community, protect the environment, secure everyone’s safety and value their workforce. The Scheme is looking for new Board members who are committed to the


Scheme’s ethos, and in particular, those with expertise in the areas of marketing and communications, finance, commercial contracts and outsourcing. Considerate Constructors Scheme Executive Chairman Isabel Martinson


commented: “The CCS provides a hugely important and influential role in helping to enhance the construction industry’s reputation to the public, those within the industry and the Government. I look forward to working with a team of newly appointed Board Directors to shape the future reputation of the construction industry through the Considerate Constructors Scheme.” Terms of reference, person/skills specifications


and the application procedure are available via the Scheme’s website here. The application deadline is 1200 on Wednesday 5


October 2016. ABUS Brings Security and Price


Stability in an Uncertain World Since the Brexit result in June, from governments down there is international uncertainty concerning the UK’s future trading position. Uncertainty brings speculation, resulting in the dramatic decline of the value of the £ against both the € and the $. The £’s decline has already forced many UK suppliers and manufacturers


dependent on goods supplied from Europe or China to increase their prices, often with a double digit percentage. Neither the UK hardware and security market in general nor ABUS in


particular are immune from these issues. ABUS UK is reliant on supply of quality products supplied in €s from Germany, and in $s from our factories in China. While the current £ v €/$ is cutting very deeply, we are not just ABUS UK, but


ABUS and our parent Company fully support the ABUS brand in the UK. Therefore with ABUS Group support, ABUS UK is pleased to confirm:


ABUS 2016 £ RRPs will remain in place till April 2017, 15 months after our January 2016 RRPs were confirmed. We therefore pass on this very positive message to our UK distributors: ABUS now more than ever is the brand to stock. In a changing and


uncertain world, ABUS offers the UK hardware and security market quality and price stability. For full information on our security solutions please contact ABUS UK: Sales@abus- uk.com www.abus.com Telephone: 0117 204 7000
