Question Title

* 6. Looking through the answers to Q5, which do you think are the (maximum 3) most important factors for YOU when choosing the MATERIALS for a job?

Question Title

* 7. There has been a lot of discussion in the media recently on the subject of sustainability.

Would you say that these days your clients specify materials primarily because of their sustainability:

very often - most jobs will include sustainable materials

more often than not - more than 50% of jobs will include sustainable materials

occasionally - less than half of jobs will include sustainable materials

never or almost never - only very rarely will a job include sustainable materials

Question Title

* 8. Why do you think this is the case?

Question Title

* 9. How much more do you think your clients would be prepared to pay for materials from sustainable sources?

Nothing - lowest price is everything

A little - but certainly less than 20%

A lot - between 20% and 50%

The sky's the limit - they'll pay whatever is needed for sustainable options

Question Title

* 10. Thinking about jobs that you have done in the past 6 months, to what extent are your clients concerned about the disposal of old shopfittings that are removed from their premises?

Very concerned - this is a big deal for them, they have a specified approach that we must follow

Moderately concerned - they want to do the right thing, but they generally trust us to do so

Not especially concerned - as long as the materials are removed from site then that's fine

Question Title

* 11. When you are required to separate old shopfittings for recycling, briefly describe how this is managed in practice.

Question Title

* 12. Do you offer your clients any kind of 'added value' service in recycling old materials? (For example re-using or re-purposing, sometimes called upcycling)

Yes

Not at the moment, but we are actively looking into this as an option

Question Title

* 13. If yes, please give a short description of how this works

Question Title

* 14. Have you ever discontinued the use of any materials due to concerns about recyclability or sustainability?

Yes

Question Title

* 15. If yes, please can you provide a brief explanation.

Question Title

* 16. Over the next 12 months, how important do you think sustainability will be to your business?

Extremely important - it will be central to how we think about the business

Quite important - we will address the challenges as they come along

Not that important - it seems a bit distant from my business and even a bit exaggerated

Question Title

* 17. And finally, it's really helpful to know a little about you, though if you'd prefer not to answer any of these questions, that's fine too.
