"We have a busy agenda over the coming months. For example, we will be working to publish the final version of our Routemap, and developing guidance for construction businesses to show the top twenty steps they should take to green their operations.
"I know that Mike will offer both the invaluable insight and strategic direction required to lead the board through the times ahead."
