In response to the Chancellor's announcement that the coalition Government intends to invest billions into the UK's infrastructure, including improving roads, Chris Kingshott, Wincanton's Managing Director for manufacturing, said: "We've recently welcomed the CBI's call on the government to put extra resources into UK infrastructure projects, which is why we're extremely pleased to hear the Chancellor's announcement today on measures intended to boost the construction sector.
"Any cash that finds its way into major infrastructure projects, such as improving our road and rail networks to reduce congestion will, we believe, reap significant financial benefits as well as reducing Co2 emissions, pointing towards a cleaner, more sustainable future.
"Wincanton, along with others in the industry, has been doing its bit in recent years by investing in new technologies and working methods to help mitigate our impact on the environment, but there is always more that can be done which is why we welcome this news from the Chancellor today."
