Since Carillion used Tradex to streamline its supply chain, the construction industry has started paying more attention to the advantages of electronic trading.
In this month’s issue of The Big Project, Causeway Divisional Director, Tim Cole, chairs a discussion into the adoption and future of eTrading, with a panel of key industry figures.
As well as the advantages of using dedicated software instead of email and proof that Tradex speeds up the payment process, the panel discuss whether a change is likely to be instigated by the public or private sector, which areas are likely to embrace the change first and what the implications will be for the legal system and tax authorities.
The panel is made up of:
- Ziad Makhzouni, CFO at Arabtec Construction
- Bob Fields, Director of Operations at AI Ahmadiah Contracting and Trading
- Graham Russell, CEO of Cemex Regional Office
- Paul Gyles, Finance Director of ISG
- Jonathan Davidson, Managing Partner of Davidson and Co Legal Consultants
- Paul Madeira, COO of Causeway Middle East
- Phil Auguste, Head of International Marketing at Causeway
