Construction
With the residential market effectively mothballed for the past 18 months, the construction industry has relied heavily on public sector investment.
And now school, prison and hospital construction orders have been cancelled or substantially scaled back following the Government’s moratorium on capital projects.
This drastic cut in market opportunities comes at a time when many companies are still struggling to manage the overheads associated with health & safety regulations, the risk of personal injury litigation and the growing costs associated with reducing carbon emissions.
So how can Azzurri help?
