DIGEST | ISSUE 20
Welcome
to the Driver Trett Digest
The title of this edition struck a chord with me. Having become CEO
in June, we have come through the difficulties of the last few months
in a very positive way, and I am proud to say our staff have responded
very impressively. Looking after each other and our clients with an
exceptional level of professionalism.
I am particularly delighted to see our business
growing, with a new office in New York, and
Simon Braithwaite’s Q & A in this edition giving
an interesting insight into our approach in the
USA. We have also renewed our focus in Africa,
with a joint venture agreement with EVRA, which
is already yielding interesting opportunities.
Underlying our ability to cope with these difficult
times, are our values and our culture. We put our
people and our clients first. We strive to innovate,
and we act with integrity. If ever a period in our
history has proven the value of this approach, it
has been 2020.
For our clients, the challenges of delivering major
construction projects in these difficult times are
immense. Great progress has been made, and
across the world we are seeing construction and
engineering activity adapting to a new way of
working. We are assisting in live project support,
our COVID 19 helpdesk has provided a source
of information for those who need it, and where
disputes have already arisen, our experts are
getting used to working with clients and their
lawyers by video link.
Mark Wheeler
Chief Executive Officer
The world has felt very uncertain in recent
months, but my faith in our people, our clients,
and our business has never been more certain.
