Fact: We are running out of landfill. We are putting too much in landfill. New sites further away more transport costs more costs to dump.

So let’s look at the opportunities that it offers us.

DEEDI is the good part of government! We’re all there to help businesses with their risk management export employment budgeting…

DERM approached DEEDI because there is a number of grants there. We work on the basis that the best people to help people in business are people in business.

We are negotiating a joint partnership to give something back to business to help business to gain something from these reforms. It’s not finalised yet.

This model is based on the Manufacturing Industry Pipeline (mentoring for export….) We’ve had well over 1000 industry networking meetings.
