Emma Porter MD Rebuild Site and Chair Carlisle Town Deal Board

The Rebuild Site is a small SME set up to tackle waste in construction and tackle some of the issues required for the industry to move from a linear to a circular model. Working with the University of Cumbria allowed us to undertake our first piece of research that has helped our business get off the ground and prove that we are saving carbon. This work not only informed our strategic decisions, it also strengthens our credibility with new clients and grant applications and led to us winning Most Promising New Business at the Eco-I NW Awards in Manchester. We’re looking forward to continuing to work with the university to both grow our business and drive change in the industry.
