Aggregate Industries has become the first construction materials producer and supplier to achieve full national membership status of Constructing Excellence, the organisation charged with driving the change agenda in the construction industry.

As a fully-fledged member, Aggregate Industries will play an important role in helping Constructing Excellence achieve its aim of improving industry performance in order to create a better built environment.

Members have the opportunity to participate in a number of steering groups, covering topics such as BIM, sustainability and asset management, and input into policy consultations. In addition, members regularly represent Constructing Excellence on a number of high profile, strategic external groups.

Brian Downes, major projects director for Aggregate Industries, said: “We’re delighted to become the first construction materials manufacturer and supplier to achieve national membership status. Much like our own organisation, Constructing Excellence places innovation, sustainability and collaborative working at the top of the agenda to drive best practice. As members, we’re looking forward to taking an active role over the coming months and years.”
