New global aggreagates conferences’ series launch post UK EU referundum

One of the first occasions to hear about the impact of the UK’s EU referendum result on the construction and aggregates industries’ prospects will be at Agg-intel Europe, a new high-level international conference.

Supported and delivered by Aggregates Business Europe, the conference will take place in Manchester on June 27, the day before the renowned 427 Hillhead exhibition opens, and just four days after the UK’s EU referendum.

James Hastings, head of construction futures for global information services group Experian. will be presenting their latest economic forecasts for Europe’s construction and aggregates sectors.  

Experian is one of Europe’s most respected economic forecasters and regularly provides official bodies and governments with market data.

- Julia Georgi of Strategy&, PwC’s strategy consulting team, who specialises in commercial performance improvement in industrial environment and previously worked at Heidelberg Cement

- Simon Purchon, 4287 Babcock International Group’s business development director, who will discuss effective fleet management and maintenance.

Purchon is one of the leading authorities on whole life asset management and the management of complex fleets. Babcock’s customers include 1707 Aggregate Industries and Lafarge, and Purchon argues that the company’s approach can cut costs by up to 15%.

Subjects on the agenda include the developing market for manufactured sand; big data and the aggregates industry; effective fleet selection; and the latest technological innovations.

Further conferences are planned for Cleveland, USA on October 19, Brussels on November 17 and Hong Kong in the Spring of 2017.
