Act Now on Asbestos! We're part of the Sunday Times' asbestos campaign for our schools and hospitals

We've been talking to the Sunday Times' journalists for a few weeks now, helping them to understand the shockingly poor condition of asbestos in our schools and hospitals.

Our "Damage" report has helped them to gather their evidence and we're so pleased that such a prestigious national newspaper has taken the time to really understood the problem affecting so many of our public buildings.

Their new Act Now on Asbestos campaign has five ambitious but practical steps.  We are fully supporting the campaign.

Congratulations to journalist Steve Boggan and the Sunday Times

Thank you UKATA! What a night to celebrate success and achievement in the asbestos industry

Thank you UKATA! What an amazing evening of fun, food and fabulous people including, and especially, Mavis & Ray Nye and the inspirational keynote speaker, Kriss Akabusi.

We won!  Not quite sure how, but we did!

It was the UKATA Awards evening, held every five years, and Mavis & Ray had a standing ovation when they were presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award. I don't think I've ever felt more heartfelt warmth and appreciation in a room.

We were so grateful to be awarded the Innovation Award for our contribution to the industry with our asbestos software, Alpha Tracker, and our OpenAsbestos data sharing initiative.

Fingers crossed! We're up for an award tonight

Robin & Catherine are off to the UKATA Awards ceremony!

Start Software is shortlisted for the Excellence in Innovation Award 2023 for our OpenAsbestos initiative, helping to unlock asbestos data, everywhere.

Fingers and toes crossed!

Wish us luck!  Don't suppose we'll win but it will be lovely to catch up with old friends, Alpha Tracker clients and business partners from across the UK asbestos industry and far beyond!!!
