He said: “I was delighted to accept the role of MAC director and am looking forward to continuing the great work that Malcolm Grinstead has carried out over the past eight years. I’ll be continuing to push the industry forward and banging the drum about the many performance benefits of mastic asphalt such as its carbon neutral credentials and exceptional waterproofing properties.

“The mastic asphalt sector is a fantastic industry to be in, with an excellent apprenticeship scheme and great long-term prospects for young people, so it’s very important that we attract new talent whilst retaining experienced workers.
