🌟Meet Dale, our Head of Sales!🌟 His passion for sustainable urban development drives our sales strategy and strengthens client partnerships. Find out more about Dale below: 🏗️What's your favourite team memory or project? This is a tough one as there are so many great memories and great projects we have worked on, however if there is one project that particularly sticks in my mind it is the Bet 365 new carpark in stoke. The contractor hadn't used our system before and found it really easy to work with, we offered them full support right through from tender to onsite installation support. 🤝What's the most rewarding part of your job? I think it must be supporting a contractor that may not be familiar with tree pits in hard areas. Right through the stages of their project from meeting them on site prior to placing the order and ensuring that all the products get delivered and installed in a timely manner without any issues. ✈️If you could travel anywhere for a week, where would you go? I would love to go and explore Indonesia as I've not been there before, it looks fascinating and really beautiful. 🍽️What's a favourite meal or dessert you always look forward to? I don't think anything can beat a donor meat and chips smothered in burger sauce!

Around 93 million people globally were impacted by extreme flooding events in 2023. As we are coming close to the end of 2024, we have noticed the frequency and severity of natural disasters continue to rise, forcing cities to confront unprecedented flooding that disrupts lives, infrastructure, and ecosystems. How can we make a meaningful difference? Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) are vital for managing stormwater, reducing flood risks, and fostering resilient urban environments capable of adapting to extreme weather conditions. By implementing SuDS and supporting green infrastructure projects, we can all contribute to creating cities that are better equipped to handle the impacts of climate change.

With smart planning and investment, we can create vibrant, low-maintenance green spaces for sustainable urban living.
