Business FCC to group all of its UK services under the

FCC Environment brand

Baldomero Falcones, Chairman of FCC, told the annual meeting of the Spanish Chamber of Commerce in Great Britain that the group’s aim is to combine all of its UK service businesses under the FCC Environ-ment brand.

Mr. Falcones, who was attending as the Chamber’s guest of honor, explained that the new brand would cover all the activities currently being provided by Waste Recy-cling Group (WRG) and Focsa, although the Citizen Services Group will also continue its infrastructure and energy activities.

FCC Environment will have a market share of 5-6% with more than 100 waste mana-gement contracts from over 60 councils in the UK.

Mr. Falcones noted that FCC is building the Media Centre for the 2012 Olympic Games in London and is also involved in London’s Crossrail project.

FCC’s operations in the UK date back to 1989, when it created Focsa Ser-vices UK, a subsidiary of FCC Medio Ambiente, the goal being to provide services in the UK. The company now has a workforce of over 1,000.

Years later, in 2004, FCC acquired UK waste management company WRG. Since then, the British waste manage-ment subsidiary the Citizen Services group has become a leader in waste and landfll site management
