After four years volunteering as the Chair of TTA’s Sustainability Working Group, David Kong is handing over the reins to Will Fleming, Mapei’s Sustainability and Environmental Manager. TTA wishes to thank David for the hard work and enthusiasm he has brought to the group as it welcomes Will into his new role.
Since it was founded in 2022, with David Kong at the helm, the group has led a number of research projects, from identifying 41 good reasons to choose tiles to conducting qualitative surveys which show that TTA members want to be more sustainable. It has also shared key advice and resources, freely available from TTA’s website. This includes case studies showcasing how manufacturers, contractors and distributors can take initiative on environmental matters, as well as practical guidance on issues like regulatory policy and EVs.
In addition to his industry experience as an experienced compliance manager with a deep understanding of working with waste, Will was awarded with a (Hons) Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Environmental Science and is a certified ISO 45001 internal auditor.
Will Fleming says: ‘I am delighted to be appointed as the new Chair of TTA’s Sustainability Working Group. David Kong’s leadership sets a fantastic example which I look forward to building from. The group is lucky to have a range of expertise across its members, who are a pleasure to work alongside.’
