TRADA Technology managing director Andrew Abbott said: “Our expertise lies not only in timber, but also in the construction industry per se, so it is important for us to grow our business, bringing in additional expertise, to anticipate market requirements. The new structure will enable us to develop a matrix of services to meet customers’ needs comprehensively and effectively.”
