Downwell targets cladding removal, National Geographic to feature world's biggest blast, Molson adds CBI to its enormous product range, and the industry braces for the Budget speech from chancellor Rishi Sunak later today.   

All this and more in the latest episode of the Break Fast Show.

Just moments after Rishi Sunak finished delivering his Spring 2021 Budget to the House of Commons, DemolitionNews hosted a special LiveStream show to analyse the Chancellor’s first post-COVID budget speech.

We welcomed along a number of key industry leaders to analyse that speech and its likely impact upon the UK construction and demolition sectors.

In the latest episode of the Break Fast Show, we look at the following industry stories:  A rise in workload fuels fears of a worsening skills shortage; Manitou and JCB in patent battle; The Federation of Master Builders has called for a cut in the rate of VAT on home improvements; And Volvo has underlined its commitment to autonomous machine development by starting the construction of a dedicated new test track.

In the all-new episode of our daly news show, we look at Demolition Services third successful blast at Ironbridge Power Station; construction contract awards pass the £8.0 billion mark in February 2021; IPAF unveils "game-changer" safety and training app; and the 40th edition of the REAL Demolition magazine is here.

In a month that saw the UK construction industry post a remarkable £8.0 billion in new contract awards, we speak to Builders' Conference CEO Neil Edwards to find out more.

In this wide-ranging discussion, we look at who won the work, and the sectors and geographic regions that will benefit.  We also look at the growing issue of skills across the sector and a worrying imbalance between private and public finance that points to a tightening of the Government's purse strings.

Today's flash briefing looks at the following key stories:  Car Parks in crisis; HSE restores roofing company involved in fatal fall; Armac gets the nod in Coventry;; CITB fixes rates; and a new monster machine is set to make its debut.

Among the topics addressed in today's show are Bobcat's new range of light compaction equipment, Everton's new stadium gets the planning green light, and a new report claims that construction "is a bad place to work".     

All this and more in the fourth episode of The Break Fast Show.
