The first lockdown came with regulations that allowed construction work to continue despite concerns and pushback from...

  Site security is a top priority on a construction site. Intrusions and thefts affect up to 92% of the industry and can lead to severe setbacks when equipment needs replacing and damage needs fixing.

450 years. That’s how long it takes, on average, for a plastic bottle to biodegrade completely. To put that into perspective, if a young William Shakespeare had enjoyed a modern bottle of coke back in 1569, that bottle would only just be breaking down today. This highlights two things.

Back in October, CMT proudly announced an exciting partnership with Breast Cancer Now. Charities have certainly struggled in recent times. Many organisations are struggling to stay afloat, public health services reaching breaking point; a double blow for individuals suffering from the ill effects of Breast Cancer.

#EachforEqual. We’ve just celebrated International Women’s Day– an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of women across the world, and to call for gender parity. It’s an event that spans borders and industries, and it’s been celebrated since 1911. What does it mean for construction? Traditionally, we’re an industry that’s male-dominated.
