Key role at waste conference

May Gurney will play a prominent role at the second annual PPP/PFI in the Waste Sector Conference in October.

The PPP/PFI in the Waste Sector Conference is firmly established as the premier UK forum on developments in PPPs. The theme this year is 'Making PPP/PFI work in the waste sector'.

With the UK government committed to reducing municipal waste to 75% of 1995 levels by 2010 and 35% of 1995 levels by 2020 under the EU Landfill Directive, the pressure is on to make PPPs work for waste projects.

The focus this year is on how the Government plans to make PPPs work in the waste sector and on the various new PPP models that are already beginning to emerge. Ben Bradshaw, MP, the Minister responsible for the government's waste policy, has agreed to give the keynote address.

In addition to May Gurney sponsoring the event, Alan Loughlin, Director of Waste & Environment, is a member of the event's expert speaker faculty. The company will also present a practical case study entitled 'Team working delivery in Norfolk'.

The PPP/PFI in the Waste Sector Conference will be held on 4 October at the Thistle Hotel, Marble Arch, London.
