Scott Group ‘ExCel’ at Ecobuild 2012

Leading industrial supplies organisation, Scott Group, exhibited at Ecobuild, the world’s biggest event for sustainable design, construction and the built environment, held at the ExCel arena in London from 20th to 22nd March 2012.

This year Ecobuild was the biggest and best yet, and Scott Groupwelcomed visitors along to stand N1560, to find out more about the diverse range of services on offer across its six divisions.

Karen Hunter, Sales and Marketing Director at Scott Pallets, said: “Scott Group has been a leading industry partner to the construction sector for over 25 years and has built up an impressive reputation for the development of innovative supply chain solutions. The launch of our groundbreaking pallet recovery service, designed to reduce packaging waste by encouraging the re-use of wooden pallet, has been particularly well received. In 2011, reverse logistics specialist, Scott ELM, recovered in excess of one million wooden pallets for re-use in the construction products supply chain.

“Ecobuild is not only a prime opportunity to share our knowledge of the construction products supply chain, but also to raise awareness of our full range of products and services offered across the Group.”

Scott Group has also partnered with Nottingham University to sponsor the design of a bespoke modular pavilion made from re-usable timber shipping pallets. The ‘Fleeting Retreat’ pavilion was designed by 2nd year Architecture students and will provide a space for visitors to relax and escape from the hustle and bustle of the event.

The Scott Group has grown considerably over the past 25 years through numerous strategic acquisitions and organic growth across the UK and in to Europe to become the UK’s market leading and largest pallet supplier, the fastest growing packaging provider and a leading supplier of essential trade supplies such as tools, work wear and corporate clothing. Most recently the Group launched a commercial insurance service under the Scott Direct brand.

The Scott Group was founded in 1987 and today employs over 1000 people UK-wide. The business is committed to ensuring customers are at the forefront of the latest industry developments and thrives on finding the most effective solutions for customers with the aims of providing quality products and a professional, straight-talking service at a competitive price.
