Canada: Progressive Planet Solutions has appointed Randy Gue and Chris Halsey-Brandt to its advisory board. The company is developing pozzolan-based supplementary cementitious material (SCM) products. It operates its Z1 Zeolite quarry in Cache Creek, British Columbia and is working on other projects also in the province.

Gue will advise on introducing Progressive Planet's developing products into the marketplace with the initial focus on markets for PozGlass SCM. Randy spent 17 years with Lafarge Canada as the Director of Business Development and Resource Recovery where he led Lafarge's Western North American initiative to reduce variable operating costs by developing business-to-business relationships primarily related to the recovery and reuse of wastes and by-product streams from industries and institutions.

Halsey-Brandt will assist in financial analysis of the first PozGlass SCM manufacturing plant and will also assist in evaluating opportunities to grow the company through strategic acquisitions. He is both a chartered professional accountant (CPA) and a chartered business valuator (CBV). At present Halsey-Brandt owns and operates a successful food processing business. Prior to becoming an entrepreneur, he was a partner at Blair Mackay Mynett Valuations, an independent firm in Vancouver providing business valuation services.
