UK: Concrete admixture producer Oscrete UK has appointed Matthew Gabriel to the role of new product development and sustainability manager. The company says that the appointment strengthens its commitment to sustainable construction.

Gabriel said “With the environment at the forefront of everyone’s minds, and customers looking to increase their use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCM), my priority is to develop products and processes which support our customers’ own route towards low carbon concrete.” He continued “Finding cost effective green solutions without impacting performance is key to the future of the construction sector. We are now looking to develop products that can help our customers to use or increase the use of products with a lower eCO₂, hence the creation of a role dedicated entirely to this arena.”
