The Waste Exchange

Mr Hopkins works in the demolition and groundwork industry. He identified a need for a more efficient way to connect companies and people that collect building waste (such as top soil, crushed concrete etc) with demolition firms which create it. Being in the industry Mr Hopkins was keenly aware the time and cost of sourcing skips and trucks 

In 2003 Mr Hopkins proposed a website which offered these services. However with the dawn of the smartphone, he realised that the functionality was better placed on mobile devices. Workers in the industry are often on-site or mobile workers and by creating the solution for iPhones and Android devices, Mr Hopkins would be able to give users the ability to respond and react to requirements in a more efficient and timely manner.

Since its launch the users of the system have been steadily increasing, with plans to expand the app's functionality to a web-front end for use on desktop.
