Paul Burstow MP visits TriMark Europe's Sutton Facility
 January 2012 - Keith Dolbear, Managing Director of TriMark Europe Ltd, welcomed Paul Burstow MP for Sutton and Cheam, Minister of State for Care Services, for a return visit to the facility at Sutton on 20th January 2012. Paul was accompanied by Michael Cumper and Maurice O'Connell from Kimpton Industrial Park Proprietors Association (KIPPA).
Keith took the opportunity to show Paul the various improvements on the site, since his last visit about 3 years ago. Mr Burstow was keen to learn more about the growth opportunities for TriMark.
As the USA parent Company, TriMark Corporation is a successful employee owned Company, there was a discussion on how this model could be encouraged in the UK. Mr Burstow commented "I was interested in how TriMark's parent company is employee owned. I explained how the Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, is keen to see more companies following the John Lewis Partnership model."
As well as running TriMark in Europe, Keith is also on the Management Council of the Construction Equipment Association (CEA) which is the UK trade association in this sector "We at the CEA are working hard to increase the awareness of politicians in the UK about the importance to the economy of construction equipment". The industry is worth more than GBP8.5M per annum, employs in excess of 50,000 people and over 75% of equipment is manufactured for export. This led to a detailed debate on what the Government could do to encourage further growth in the industry.
Keith concluded by thanking Paul for his interest in both TriMark and the rest of the construction equipment industry and looked forward to working together with him to promote this sector.
Paul added "It was good to catch up with Keith and his team at TriMark. Construction has a critical part to play in sustaining growth and employment. It's why the Government is investing heavily in infrastructure projects up and down the country".
